Follow these steps to add a new, non-scratch volume.

1. Select Option 2 (ADD) on the Volume Menu and press ENTER.
   Note: Tape librarians can bypass the Volume Menu by selecting option 6 (ADDVOL) on the Librarian Menu.
   DFSMSrmm displays the DFSMSrmm Add Volume panel.
2. Specify a volume serial number and a volume status. If you want the volume retention to be expiration date managed (and not VRS managed), then specify EXPDT for retention method. All other fields are optional. Press PF1 for field-specific help information.

   Use either a pool ID or rack number to specify where the volume should reside in the removable media library. If you add a non-scratch volume with a volume serial number that is less than six characters, you must specify either a rack number or a pool ID.

   To view the pool IDs defined by your installation, type CONTROL VLPOOLS from the command or option line of any panel. In the TSO environment, use the LISTCONTROL VLPOOL subcommand.

3. Scroll down to view additional fields and specify the volume information you want DFSMSrmm to record about the volume.
4. Press ENTER to add the volume to the DFSMSrmm control data set.
