=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command creates a new volume set, by default adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume set's name indicate the volume set's contents; for example, define the volume entries in the C volume set to match all user volumes. The volume set name must be unique within the Backup Database of the local cell. After issuing this command, issue the B command to define the volume entries in the volume set. Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording them permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the B command to restore a group of volumes that were not necessarily backed up together. To create a I volume set, include the B<-temporary> flag. A temporary volume set exists only during the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the flag is effective only when used during an interactive session (opened by issuing the B command). If it is included when the command is issued at the regular command shell prompt, the command appears to succeed, but the volume set is not created. As noted, a temporary volume set ceases to exist when the current interactive session ends, or use the B command to delete it before that. One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the B command, and any B commands subsequently used to add volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for regular volume sets, because no records are created in the Backup Database. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-name> > Names the new volume set. The name can include up to 31 of any character other than the period. Avoid other metacharacters as well. =item B<-temporary> Creates a volume set that exists only within the context of the current interactive session. It is not added to the Backup Database. =item B<-localauth> Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local F file. The B command interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For more details, see L. =item B<-cell> > Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-help> Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. =back =head1 EXAMPLES The following command creates a volume set called C: % backup addvolset sys =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be listed in the F file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser C if the B<-localauth> flag is included. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
