The command line media management utility, vmadm, manages volumes, manages volume pools, manages barcode rules, and inventories robots controlled by the Media Manager volume daemon (vmd). The vmadm utility has a character-based user interface and can be used from any terminal. You must have root privileges to run this utility.

When Vault is installed, several fields are added to the Volume Configuration display. You can modify these fields by using the Special Actions menu in vmadm.
