The Database pull-down selections are as follows:
Search database for volumes
Allows a search of the volume database based on search criteria. (See
“Search Database For Volumes”.)
Find a logical volume’s home
Used to determine which physical volume a logical volume resides on. (See
“Find Logical Volume’s Home” on page 144.)
List Database Volumes
Used to output a customized database search to a flat file on a diskette or
the C drive. (See “List Database Volumes” on page 145.) The library must
be Offline to use this option.
Stacked Volume Map

stacked volume. (See “Stacked Volume Map” on page 150.)
Search Database For Volumes
The Search Database for Volumes pop-up window allows a search of the volume
database for specific volumes, based on search criteria. The more search criteria
used, the more restrictive the search. See Figure 83 on page 140 for a sample
