<h1 class="topictitle1">Initialize optical volumes</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>You must initialize the writable optical media before the system
|
||
|
|
can create directories and files. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you initialize a volume, a new volume identifier must be given which
|
||
|
|
gets written to the media. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You initialize an optical volume using the Initialize Optical command.
|
||
|
|
To select this command from the Work with Optical Volumes display, select
|
||
|
|
option 10 (Initialize) in the Opt (Option) column next to the volume you want
|
||
|
|
to initialize. The Initialize Optical Volume display appears and prompts you
|
||
|
|
for required information. The figure below shows the Initialize
|
||
|
|
Optical Volume display.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Media Format parameter determines the media format of the volume. *MEDTYPE
|
||
|
|
is the default which means that the media type determines the media format.
|
||
|
|
The two media formats available are universal disk format (UDF) and high performance
|
||
|
|
optical file system HPOFS.</p>
|
||
|
|
<br /><div class="imageleft"><img src="rzam4012.gif" alt="Initialize
Optical" /></div><br /><p><strong>Attention: </strong>When you initialize an optical volume, all information
|
||
|
|
previously written on the volume becomes inaccessible.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The Initialize Optical (INZOPT) command applies to the following volumes: <ul><li>Volumes in directly-attached optical media libraries</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Volumes on writable media in DVD devices</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Volumes in virtual optical devices.</li>
