Autovol Console Command - Documentation for Bmc Ami Storage Allocation 8.1

Specifies one or more pool, SMS storage group, BMC AMI Storage-defined SMS pool, or policy on which to perform the AUTOVOL command. If a list of group, pool, policy, or subpool masks is specified, volumes within all of the listed resources are used in the AUTO command. Any volumes that exist in more than one specified resource are processed only once.

One or more variable names defined in the SMVARS member can also be specified here.

If these parameters are used in conjunction with the VOL parameter, these parameters must specify a single pool, group, or subpool. The VOL parameter that can be used in conjunction with the POOL, GROUP, or SUBPOOL parameters is used only when performing multiple level automation (MLA). Specifying the VOL parameter in addition to one of the these parameter causes only the single volume to be associated with the pool, rather than every volume in the pool, group, subpool.

Note: The VOL parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the POLICY keyword.

Example:

This command collects space information for each volume in the mypool pool and checks it against the criteria in themysol solution.

AUTOVOL POOL=<mypool>,VOL=<myvol>,SOL=<mysol>)

In this example, only the volume specified in myvol is scanned to determine space information and is checked against the mysol solution. Any automation processing that occurs for mypool is associated with this request for a volume in the pool.
