Changing optical volume attributes

 

You can change the optical volume attributes with the Change Optical Volume (CHGOPTVOL) command. You can also change the attributes of a volume by typing a 2 (Change) in the Opt (Option) column of the Work with Optical Volumes display.

You can change the following attributes with this command:

• Volume-full threshold percentage for volumes in directly attached media libraries

• Authorization list that is used to secure the volume

  If the volume is in a stand-alone device (CD-ROM or DVD drive), the authorization list secures the volume for the duration that the media is in the device. Ejecting the media from the device and immediately reinserting it again resets the authorization list to the QOPTSEC default. The system does not maintain the authorization list for volumes that are removed from a stand-alone optical device. For volumes in an optical media library device (MLD), you can only maintain the authorization list when removing the media by specifying VOLOPT(*KEEP) on the Remove Optical Cartridge (RMVOPTCTG) command. The authorization list is not written to the optical disk but instead is maintained internally on the system.

• Volume description of the volume for DVD-RAM volumes and volumes in directly attached media libraries
