Check the Status of the Spooler Collector

Check that the spooler collector is active and not 100 percent full.

At a TACL prompt, start SPOOLCOM and issue a COLLECT, STATUS command. For

example:

1> spoolcom $spls; collect, status

COLLECT STATE FLAGS CPU PRI UNIT DATA FILE %FULL

$S ACTIVE 3 , 1 154 4 $OPS0.SPL.DATA 44

Check the Tape Drive Status

Check that the tape drive to be used to install the SUT is started and online:

1. At a TACL prompt, enter:

> SCF STATUS TAPE $*

2. Verify that the STATUS TAPE display includes the tape subsystem you plan to use

to load the SUT. For example:

STORAGE - Status TAPE \ELI.$SILO2

LDev State Primary Backup DeviceStatus

PID PID

138 STARTED 0,295 1,279 ONLINE

3. If the tape subsystem you plan to use is not listed, select another tape drive or add

the tape drive to your system configuration. The state of that tape drive must be

STARTED, and the device status must be ONLINE.

4. If the status of the tape drive is stopped or not ready, start the tape drive and put

the tape drive online.
