9.3.1.7 Using the NOUNLOAD Option
The NOUNLOAD option directs the BACKUP utility to rewind the
final tape and leave it online in the drive when the BACKUP
process is completed. If the NOUNLOAD option in the BACKUP
command is not specified the robot returns the last cartridge tape to
its slot, within the 9710 ACS Tape Subsystem, when the drive is
finished writing to the tape. The robot then loads the next cartridge
requested.

9.4 Using Labeled and Unlabeled Tapes
Tandem systems support two standard tape-label formats:
• ANSI
• IBM-MVS
Note. Because they can be cataloged and offer security features for
protecting data, labeled tapes with the 5155, 5159, 5150 and 5151
tape drive subsystems should be used.
For an introduction about labeled and unlabeled tapes, see “Labeled
and Unlabeled Tapes”.
9.4.1 The MEDIACOM Utility for Labeled-Tape Operation
MEDIACOM is the utility for managing labeled-tape operations.
MEDIACOM replaces TAPECOM and provides the operator
interface to the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)/Tape
Catalog.
