To add one or more rack numbers to the removable media library, or one or more bin numbers to a storage location:

1. Select Option 2 (ADD) on the Rack and Bin Menu and press ENTER.

   DFSMSrmm displays the DFSMSrmm Add Racks and Bins panel.

2. Enter the required information.
   If you are adding rack numbers:

   • Enter a rack number if you are adding only one rack number to the removable media library.
   • Enter a rack number and the number of rack numbers to be added if you are adding several rack numbers.
   If you are adding bin numbers.

   • Enter a location if you are adding one bin number to a built-in storage location.
   • Enter a location and the number of bin numbers to be added if you are adding more than one bin number to a built-in storage location.
   • Enter a location, initial bin number, and the number of bin numbers to be added if you are adding one or more bin numbers to an installation defined storage location.

   If you are adding more than one rack or bin number, DFSMSrmm treats the number you supply as the initial rack number. Be sure that this number is long enough and low enough to accommodate the count value to be added to it without exceeding the numeric capabilities of the suffix.

   You can use pool IDs to add one or more rack numbers to a specific library in the removable media library. For example, if pool KD* has been defined for the manual tape library, LIB1, you can use an initial rack number beginning with KD to add rack numbers to a pool in that specific library.

   To add rack numbers to a pool, use the pool ID, or common prefix for rack numbers in that pool. Type CONTROL VLPOOLS from the command or option line of any panel to view information about the pools your installation has defined. To segregate shelf space in an installation-defined storage location, use the media name defined in the location definition for the storage location. To obtain information about the installation defined storage locations, type CONTROL LOCDEF from the command or option line or use the LISTCONTROL LOCDEF subcommand.

3. Press ENTER to add the rack or bin numbers you specified to DFSMSrmm.
