Entering an unlabeled optical disk into a 3995 optical library

To enter an unlabeled optical disk into a 3995 optical library:

Put the optical disk cartridge into the optical library input/output station. The system issues the following message:
```
CBR2550I Optical disk entry into library library-name scheduled.
```
_______________________________________________________
The optical disk moves from the input/output station when an optical drive becomes available. The system issues the following message for each side of the optical disk cartridge.
```
CBR3381I Volume mounted on drive on drive-name contains an unrecognized format.
```
_______________________________________________________
The system issues the following message and waits for a reply:
```
CBR4438D Volume in drive-name has unrecognized media format.
         Reply ‘F’ to format or ‘C’ to cancel.
```
This message is unique to a 3995 library. It is issued when a volume has been entered that is either unlabeled or of a format not known to the library. A reply of ‘F’ causes the volume to be formatted and any data existing on the volume is destroyed. Replying ‘C’ at this point causes the formatting processing to stop, leaving only the one side of the optical cartridge formatted.

Attention: Formatting a rewritable optical disk volume is a time consuming process. Do not interrupt this process by assuming that OAM is inactive during this time frame. OAM issues a completion message when this process is finished.

_______________________________________________________
To continue the label process, reply with an ‘F’. To cancel the label process, reply with an ‘C’. If a reply of ‘F’ is entered, the system issues the following message and waits for a reply:
```
CBR4412D Enter VOLSER for volume on drive drive-name in library library-name.
```
_______________________________________________________
Provide a 1 to 6 character unique volume serial number. The system issues the following message to verify the volume serial number. To accept the volume serial number, reply with a ‘U’. A reply of ‘R’ allows you to enter a different volume serial number.
```
CBR4424D VOLSER for unlabeled volume in drive drive-name is volser. Reply ‘U’
         to use this volser, or ‘R’ to retry.
```
_______________________________________________________
The system issues the following message and waits for a reply:
```
CBR4439D Enter VOLSER for opposite side of volume volser in drive drive-name.
```
_______________________________________________________
Provide a 1 to 6 character unique volume serial number. The system issues the following message to verify the volume serial number. To accept the volume serial number, reply with a ‘U’. A reply of ‘R’ allows you to enter a different volume serial number.
```
CBR4424D VOLSER for unlabeled volume in drive drive-name is volser. Reply ‘U’
         to use this volser, or ‘R’ to retry.
```
_______________________________________________________
Once the system verifies the volume serial number to be used on the cartridge, the system issues the following message and waits for a reply:
```
CBR4406D Enter owner information for volume volser on drive drive-name.
```
_______________________________________________________
Provide 1 to 64 characters of owner identification. The system issues the following message:
```
CBR4432D Enter storage-group-name for volumes volser1 and volser2, or reply ‘U’
         to assign to scratch.
```
_______________________________________________________
If the volumes are to be assigned to scratch status, reply ‘U’ to this message; otherwise, reply with the name of the object storage group or object backup storage group to which the volumes are to be assigned. The system issues the following message:
```
CBR4401I Volume volser2 mounted on drive drive-name.
```
_______________________________________________________
The system issues the following message:
```
CBR2100I Volumes volser1 and volser2 entered into library: library-name.
```
_______________________________________________________

The two volumes on the optical disk are added to a storage group or are assigned to scratch status and are available for use. In the message text, volser1 and volser2 are replaced by the volume serial numbers you entered for the optical volumes.
