Add optical disk cartridges

Use this procedure to add an optical disk cartridge to an optical volume.

To add an optical disk cartridge, perform the following steps:

On the Work with Optical Volumes display, select option 1 (Add) in the Opt column next to the blank volume name.
In the Add Optical Cartridge display, enter:
- Optical media library (required)
- Authorization list
- Rebuild directory index
- Media location
Note:
- Specifying *NO for Rebuild Directory Index can improve the performance of the Add Optical Cartridge (ADDOPTCTG) command by deferring the rebuilding of the optical directory index until a later time.
- Some 399F models support adding multiple media through the bulk magazine. *MAGAZINE can be specified to use this feature if available for the device.

You do not need to provide a volume identifier. The system supplies a date and time stamp as the volume identifier. The date and time stamp is used to track each volume until it is read. If the volume is not initialized, the date and time stamp serves as its identifier until the volume is initialized with a user-supplied name.

Note: The Add Optical Cartridge (ADDOPTCTG) command applies to:

Directly-attached optical media libraries
CD and DVD devices
