The ca_mmo Command Finding Media in Vaults To help you locate media in your vaults, MM Admin provides the Find Media in Vault feature. This feature is the fastest way to locate media in your vaults if you know the tape name or serial number of the tape volume you need. If you do not know this information, you can use the Database Manager to find the media. In the left pane of the MM Admin window, select the Find Media in Vault object, right-click, and select Find. When the Find Media in Vault dialog appears, select one of the two methods: ■ Find by Tape Name-Enter the tape name, the random ID, and the sequence number to identify the tape you want BrightStor ARCserve Backup to find. ■ Find by Serial Number-Enter the serial number of the desired media. Please note that this is case sensitive. For example, serial number ABC123 is different from serial number abc123. Click Find to begin the search. When the search is finished, the vault and slot information appears in the right pane of the MM Admin window. The ca_mmo Command The ca_mmo command is the command line interface equivalent to the MM Admin window. You can enter the ca_mmo command at the DOS prompt. The options and switches associated with this command allow you to start vault cycles, automatically export all vaulted tapes to the mail slots of the changer, reset the vault status, initialize the MM Admin database, check in tapes to Tape Service, assign tapes to vaults, and print reports. Note: When selecting a VCD, if you selected the Assign By User option as the controlling data set, you must use the ca_mmo -assign command to assign a specific tape. For a complete list of the options and switches available for the ca_mmo command, see the appendix Command Line Utilities. As an alternative to using the command line, any command you can enter can also be submitted using the Job Scheduler Wizard. A benefit of submitting a job using this wizard is that the job appears in the Activity Log. Another benefit is that you can submit repeating jobs. For more information on submitting jobs using the Job Scheduler Wizard, see The Job Scheduler Wizard in the chapter "Customizing Your Jobs." 7-38 Administrator Guide
