NAME

samload, load - Loads media into a device

SYNOPSIS

∕opt∕SUNWsamfs∕sbin∕samload [ -w ] eq: slot[: partition] [ deq ]

∕opt∕SUNWsamfs∕sbin∕samload [ -w ] mediatype. vsn [ deq ]

∕opt∕SUNWsamfs∕sbin∕load [ -w ] eq: slot[: partition] [ deq ]

∕opt∕SUNWsamfs∕sbin∕load [ -w ] mediatype. vsn [ deq ]

AVAILABILITY

SUNWsamfs

DESCRIPTION

load requests that the volume specified by eq:slot[:partition] or mediatype.vsn be loaded into device deq. The device specified by deq must be a removeable media drive, be in the unavailable state (see set_state (1m)) and be controlled by a media changer. If deq already has a volume loaded, it is unloaded and the volume is put away before the new volume is loaded. If deq is not specified, then the volume is loaded into an available drive in the media changer eq. The Oracle HSM file system chooses the drive into which the volume is loaded.

Note: Loading media used by an Oracle HSM file system for archiving could result in the loss of the data contained on that media. Oracle strongly recommends that archive media NOT be loaded in this manner.

The load and samload commands are identical; samload is provided as an alternative to avoid conflict with the Tcl command of the same name.

OPTIONS

-w

load will wait for the operation to complete before terminating.
