TFDSCOM Commands
tape-unit
represents the name of a local or remote tape drive. If tape-unit is not specified,
the tape drive selection is set to “Not Assigned.”
Guidelines
•
You can use the abbreviation ta in place of TAPE.
•
When TFDS starts up, if a tape drive is not specified, the system is scanned for a
tape unit:
°
If a suitable tape drive is found, this message appears in the TFDSCOM
history display:
Tape assigned is $tape-unit—config file needs to be saved.
°
If a suitable unit is not found, the value is set to “Not Assigned.”
•
An AUTOBACKUP cannot occur if the value is set to “Not Assigned.”
Example
TAPE $TAPE1
TASKS
The TASKS command displays information about TFDS tasks currently running.
Guideline
The BURST SUPPRESSION task is the main task of interest.
Example
This example shows the output of a TASKS command:
BURST SUPPRESSION, task#=10, starttime=8:56:23:623
Burst Task currently due to End at 07Apr2005 09:55
