Adabas Audit Data Retrieval uses the archive device table when archiving to optical disk. The archive device table assigns logical volume serial numbers to physical platters of an optical disk device.
This information in the archive device table enables Adabas Audit Data Retrieval to keep archive datasets of different archive subpools and of different owners on different platters.
From the "Primary Selection Menu" choose:
The "Select Archive Device Definitions" panel is displayed, where you can specify your selection criteria.

To define a new device and volumes for this device:
This will display the message 'start_volser - end_volser INSERTED' at the top of the screen.
In this example, volumes for an optical disk (in this example: Device OPT1) are defined; each platter has two sides.
To insert a definition for the device OPT1 and assign the volumes H00001 through H00024 to this new device, specify the following in the Archive Device Definition panel:
PE97AD10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Command ===> _________________________________________________________________ Insert Archive Device Definition Archive Device Name ===> OPT1.... Number of Platters ===> 12.. (1-9999) Sides per Platter ===> 2. (1-50) Start Volume Name ===> H00001 Press the ENTER key to insert the archive device definitions. Press the END key to return to the previous panel. |
To display the volumes that have been inserted for this device:

When you enter a start volume serial number that ends with a number, like in the example above, all logical volumes are numbered sequentially.
When you enter a start volume serial number that ends with a character, an additional panel is displayed where you can enter the letters to be used for the sides of each platter.
To insert a definition for the device OPT2 and assign the volumes H0001A/ H0001B through H0012A/H0012B to this new device, specify the following in the Archive Device Definition panel:
PE97AD10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Command ===> _________________________________________________________________ Insert Archive Device Definition Archive Device Name ===> OPT2.... Number of Platters ===> 12.. (1-9999) Sides per Platter ===> 2. (1-50) Start Volume Name ===> H0001A Press the ENTER key to insert the archive device definitions. Press the END key to return to the previous panel. |
When you press ENTER, an additional panel will be displayed where you can assign identifiers to the sides of the platter. The number of input fields on this panel depends on the number of volumes per platter.
In this example, there are two volumes (sides) per platter which are assigned the identifiers A and B.
