GXCC Function bar
Creating a new physical volume group
A new PVG is created by clicking on the NEW button. In the PVG list an empty line is opened
and highlighted. All editing fields except for “Name” and “Comment” are filled with default
values.
The physical volume group is set up by entering a name in the text field provided. In
addition, the location must be selected from the “Tape Library” drop-down menu.
In each CentricStor the PVG “BASE” is permanently specified.
If you do not want to use the default values, you must specify the group’s other parameters.
The physical volume group thus generated is empty. You must incorporate the envisaged
number of volumes in the archive and log it on in the PLM (see “Administration”
➟ “Physical
Volume Operations”
➟ “Add Physical Volumes”).
You must plan the addition of physical volume groups carefully.
Important information
● The name of a PVG cannot be subsequently changed. If you want to change a name
you can only delete a PVG and then create a new PVG with a different name.
● The tape libraries and the PLSs in which the PVG is located can neither be deleted nor
can their names be changed.
● A PVG can be removed immediately using the Delete button before a “Distribute and
Activate” operation. It is also possible to change names and assign another library.
