Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online
Using SCF
Issue the SCF INFO TAPE command after the ADD TAPE command is finished to
verify that the tape drive has been properly configured. For example:
->INFO TAPE $TAPE0, DETAIL
For more information on the ADD and INFO commands, see the SCF Reference
Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
Example 2: Changing the Values of Tape Drive Attributes
You use the SCF ALTER TAPE command to change the attribute values for a tape
drive attached to your system. The ALTER command changes only the attributes that
you specify in the command. Other attributes remain as they were before you issued
the command.
•
The following example of the ALTER command changes the value of the
compression attribute for the 5190 tape drive $TAPE0 to OFF and then issues the
SCF INFO command to make sure that the change has taken place:
->ALTER TAPE $TAPE0, COMPRESSION OFF
->INFO TAPE $TAPE0
