Examples Using START TAPE
The following are examples of the START TAPE command:
• To start all tapes available on the system, type:
-> START TAPE $*
• To start $TAPE0, type:
-> START $TAPE0
START TAPE Considerations
Before using the START TAPE command, consider the following:
• See Defining and Adding a Tape Drive in Chapter 7.
• If the tape process does not start, use the SCF RESET TAPE,
FORCED command prior to starting the tape drive.
Comparing COUP and PUP Commands With START TAPE
In the G-series releases, the SCF START TAPE command replaces the
COUP START DEVICE command and the PUP UP command.
If necessary, the storage subsystem manager starts the tape process if it is
not running. When the process is ready, the storage subsystem manager
puts the tape process into a STARTED state (the equivalent of a PUP UP
command).
The following Table compares COUP and PUP commands with the SCF
START Tape command.
