Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP On NonStop Himalaya K-series servers, you can use the Configuration Utility Program (COUP) to configure a 5190 or 5194 cartridge tape drive dynamically—that is, without having to create a new system image and load it. COUP is the user interface to the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC) utility.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP Example 1: Defining and Adding a 3216 Logical Controller to an MFC If a tape drive is attached to a multifunction controller (MFC) and you want to add the tape drive to the configuration using COUP, you must first locate the MFC you want to use. Then you can use COUP to define and add a 3216 logical tape controller to that MFC. Using COUP to add a tape drive attached to an MFC requires updated MFC firmware.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP Example 2: Defining and Adding a 3216 Controller You can use COUP to define and add a 3216 controller to your system after you install the controller. The following example defines and adds a 3216 controller (TAPEA) configured between processors 0 and 1 at subchannel address %040.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP Example 3: Defining and Adding a Tape Drive After adding a controller for the tape drive (see the examples on page 2-8 and page 2-9) to your system configuration, you are ready to add a tape drive. The following example uses COUP to define and add a tape drive named $TAPE1 to the controller named TAPEA on the MFC.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP The 3216 controller can control one or two tape drives. If the controller manages only one drive, use the default unit number (5). If the controller manages two drives, use unit numbers 4 and 5. • Using COUP, you can specify compression as a device attribute for the 5190 tape drive. (The 5194 tape drive ignores this attribute, because it always operates in compression mode.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using COUP Example 5: Stopping and Removing a Tape Drive From the System To stop and remove a tape drive from the system, use the PUP DOWN command to bring down the drive. Then use COUP to stop and remove it from the system. The COUP STOP command stops the I/O process for that drive. You must also stop any processes communicating with that drive.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem by Modifying the CONFTEXT File Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem by Modifying the CONFTEXT File On NonStop Himalaya K-series servers, if you want to add a 5190 or 5194 cartridge tape drive to your system configuration by running the Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) program and create a new system image, you must define the characteristics of the tape drive and its controller for the sy
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem • • • • Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem by Modifying the CONFTEXT File Only one tape drive can be attached to an MFC. The drive must use device ID 5, which is the default device ID for tape drive CRUs. When two tape drives are attached to a 3216 controller, the drives must have device IDs 4 and 5. If only one drive is attached to a 3216 controller, then the device ID must be 5. See Tape Drive CRU Placement on page 3-6.
Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem by Modifying the CONFTEXT File Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem 5190 or 5194 Drive for a Memory Dump (NonStop Himalaya K-Series Servers) on page 4-56.

Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Using a DEFINE to Override the Systemwide Compression Default Setting For more information about MEDIACOM and the ALTER MEDIADEFS command, see the DSM/Tape Catalog Operator Interface (MEDIACOM) Manual. Using a DEFINE to Override the Systemwide Compression Default Setting The systemwide compression default setting set by the MEDIACOM ALTER MEDIADEFS command applies to labeled and unlabeled tapes.
Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL • • Using a DEFINE to Override the Systemwide Compression Default Setting If no systemwide default compression setting was set using the ALTER MEDIADEFS command, the default compression setting for any tape in a 5190 drive is off. Applications specifying a CLASS TAPE DEFINE always use the systemwide default compression setting for compression, because there is no COMPRESSION attribute for a CLASS TAPE DEFINE.
Using SETMODE 162 to Override the Systemwide Compression Default Setting Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Example 4 This example for a labeled tape shows a File Utility Program (FUP) command that uses a CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINE named “=FUPOUT” to turn compression on (IDRC). The USE OUT attribute specifies to write the file to tape. The FUP COPY command copies the contents of FILE1 record-by-record to volume IBM001.
Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Programming and Configuration Considerations To change the compression mode, first stop the drive, then use the SCF ALTER command to assign a value to the COMPRESSION option; for example: ->ALTER TAPE $TAPE0, COMPRESSION ON It is not necessary to specify a compression modifier in the PERIPHERALS paragraph if you set a systemwide default setting using the MEDIACOM ALTER MEDIADEFS command. The MEDIACOM default setting overrides this modifier.
Valid CONTROL Operations Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Valid CONTROL Operations The following table shows valid CONTROL operations for the modular tape subsystem: Number Operation 2 Write file mark 3 Rewind and unload (wait) 5 Rewind and leave online (no wait) 6 Rewind and leave online (wait) 7 Forward space file 8 Backward space file 9 Forward space record 10 Backward space record 24 Force end of volume (valid only for labeled tape) 26 Immediate I/O completion (commit da
Running in Buffered Mode Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL • • • SETMODE 99 sets the buffering mode of the 3216 controller with the modular tape subsystem. Changing the buffering mode can affect system performance and error reporting. See Running in Buffered Mode on page 4-55. Setting param1 Value Buffering off (record-level recovery) 0 Buffer data (file-level recovery) 1 Buffer file marks (reel-level recovery) 2 SETMODE 119 sets the tape mode.
Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Using a 5190 or 5194 Drive for a Memory Dump (NonStop Himalaya K-Series Servers) applications must call CONTROL with the value 26 to flush all outstanding buffers to tape. CONTROL returns an error if any buffers are not successfully written to tape. Table 4-11 examines the performance trade-offs between buffering and error reporting. Table 4-11.
Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Using a 5190 or 5194 Drive for a Memory Dump (NonStop Himalaya S-Series Servers) Before performing a Copy Memory: Tape task, be sure to load a write-enabled cartridge tape in the tape drive and bring the drive online. Using a 5190 or 5194 Drive for a Memory Dump (NonStop Himalaya S-Series Servers) You can perform a memory dump to disk while a processor is running. However, if a processor is down, you can dump memory only to tape.
Operating the Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL Using a 5190 or 5194 Drive for a Tape Load (NonStop Himalaya S-Series Servers) MFC 0 or 1 in the base system cabinet (cabinet 1). When you perform a tape load, the tape drives cannot be attached to a 3216 controller.
