== Create storage pool for offsite pool ==

#Create storage pool for offsite pool

#::Ex
#::DEFINE STGPOOL MONTHLY_DR_OFFSITEPOOL LTOCLASS pooltype=copy description="Monthly OFFSITE TAPE Storage Pool for DR" maxscratch=2 collocate=no

== If new tape cartridges inserted to tape library == 

If new tape cartridges inserted to tape library, then need to checkin the tapes cartridges to library by using below commands

#Verify the list of tapes currently in the library with the following command
#:<pre>
#::show slots TS4300
#:</pre>
#Verify the list of tapes currently checked in with Spectrum Protect with the following command
#:<pre>
#::query libv TS4300
#:</pre>
#Run the audit library for finding the newly inserted tapes
#:<pre>
#::audit library TS4300 checkl=yes refresh=yes
#:</pre>
#Then checked in discovered (newly added tapes) to library as scratch
#:<pre>
#::label libvolume TS4300 search=yes checkin=scratch labelsource=barcode
#:</pre>
#Look at activity log of above command Or use web UI instead of doing below
#:<pre>
#::q proc
#::query actlog search="MOVE DRMEDIA"
#:</pre>
#Find the newly inserted tapes
#:<pre>
#::query libv TS4300
#:</pre>

== If Old/Used/Offsite tape cartridges inserted to tape library == 
If old/used tape cartridges inserted to tape library, then need to remove the data and insert as a scartch by using below
#Insert the tape cartridges in tape media
#Check the drmedia tapes list 
#:<pre>
#::query drmedia
#:</pre>
#This step is required for, If inserted tapes are part of drmedia. The inserted tapes status must be "Vault retrieve". Then Change the tapes state to onsite
#:<pre>
#::move drmedia <tape-name> wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve
#::Ex:
#::move drmedia GB7441L8 wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve
#:</pre>
#:Note: If inserted tapes are not part of drmedia, avoid this step. 
#Run below command for checkin
#:<pre>
#::label libvolume TS4300 <tape-name> checkin=scratch overwrite=yes
#::Ex:
#::label libvolume TS4300 GB7451L8 checkin=scratch overwrite=yes
#:</pre>
#Get the pending request id by using below command
#:<pre>
#::query request
#:</pre>
#Let the server know tapes are inserted
#:<pre>
#::reply <request-number>
#:</pre>
#:Wait for complete the task
#Checkin the tapes
#:<pre>
#::label libvolume TS4300 search=yes checkin=scratch labelsource=barcode
#:</pre>
#See the status
#:<pre>
#::show slots TS4300
#::q libvol TS4300

#Backup disk pool to tape offsite pool
#:<pre>
#::BACKUP STGP <Diskpool> <offsite-tape-storage-pool-name> wait=no
#::Ex
#::BACKUP STGP HANADISKPOOL MONTHLY_DR_OFFSITEPOOL wait=no
#:</pre>
#Get the process number
#:<pre>
#::q proc
#:</pre>
#Check the detail log based on process number
#:<pre>
#::q actlog search="PROCESS: <process-number>"
#::Ex
#::q actlog search="PROCESS: 1072"
#:</pre>
#Check the tape cartridge name and other information
#:<pre>
#::query volume * stgpool=<offsite-tape-storage-pool-name> devclass=LTOCLASS f=d
#::Ex
#::query volume * stgpool=MONTHLY_DR_OFFSITEPOOL devclass=LTOCLASS f=d
#::</pre>
#Before moving tape to vault, check the status
#:<pre>
#::query drmedia
#:</pre>
#Move tape cartridge to vault status
#:<pre>
#::move drmedia KG7451L8 tostate=vault
#:</pre>
#Check the process status
