Thank you for your reply.
I understand that I can add a private volume to RMM as MASTER status with
STATUS(MASTER) operand.
But if there are 100,000 volumes (A00000 through A99999), I have to make
100,000 RMM ADDVOLUME commands depending on each volume status.
If I could use STATUS(VOLCAT) operand, I need only one RMM ADDVOLUME
command with COUNT(100000) operand such as
RMM ADDVOLUME A00000 STATUS(VOLCAT) COUNT(100000)
for adding 100,000 volumes to RMM.
Now I think that the best way is following
to add private volumes to RMM as MASTER status.
1) Add volumes in SMS tape library to RMM by ADDVOLUME
with STATUS(VOLCAT)
2) Make CLIST of RMM CHANGEVOLUME commands
to change MASTER status from USER
by RMM SEARCHVOLUME selecting only USER status volumes.
3) Execute the CLIST produced by the SEARCHVOLUME
Anyway, now what I want to know is that why RMM does add private volumes in
TCDB as USER status.
