Possible to stage a tape volume using CLI or GUI in NW?

If you want you can stage whole volume (I thought you wish to stage only certain ssids from volume).  You would do something like:

nsrstage -F -s -b -m -S -f `mminfo -av -q volume= -r ssid,cloneid | awk '{print $1"/"$2}' | grep -v ssid`

You can use input file (-S -f ) and list ssids in file.

Thanks Hrvoje, here I will still have to specify all the SSID's in the Volume. Is there an option similar to cloning a volume for staging?

Rjacob,

There is an option to clone a volume with the nsrclone command, however it clones all volumes which start on that volume. To clarify further – it does not produce an exact replica of the volume, rather it stages all the savesets present which start on the volume completely – even the pieces which span to other volumes also, so you can end up with more than one volume required as target and other volumes required for mounting.

From the command line reference: -

Copy all save sets that begin on the volume mars.001 to a volume in the Offsite Clone

pool:

nsrclone – b ’Offsite Clone’ mars.001

I believe there will be same option via the GUI but have not done it for a while so would have to check and don’t have a system to hand currently.

The command that Hrvoje would also have same effect as we never clone just part of a saveset.
