Changing the Volume Location 2

[unixgy]

Hello.

When we label new tapes in our library, the Volume location of the tapes in our library changes to our Jukebox name, which is good. But when we take tapes out and put new ones in, the location of the tapes we take out goes blank. Then we manually change the location of those tapes through the GUI.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the Volume location from the Command Line? I have written querries to report locations using mminfo, but I need to know if there is a way to update a location in a similar fashion.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could try "mmlocate -u -n server.001 'New location'
It changes "server.001" volume's location to "New Location".

Hope this helps.

Thanks! That does help. Any ideas how I might be able to update all the Blank locations with a new location value?

mminfo -s <server_name> -q 'location=&quot;&quot;' -r 'volume' | while read volser rest; do
mmlocate -s <server_name> -u -n &quot;$volser&quot; 'New-Location'
done
