The following describes the FLASH command syntax: 
FLASH [DRIVE] $drive 
 [, [SWITCH] { ON  OFF } ] 
[DRIVE] $drive 
is the logical device number or name of the tape drive whose BEB 
locator LED is affected by this command. There is no default 
value; a value must be entered for this parameter. 
[SWITCH] { ON  OFF } 
is the instruction that specifies the action for the BEB locator LED. 
ON means to flash the LED on and off. OFF means to turn off the 
LED. The default action is ON. 
Specify OFF to turn off the BEB locator LED regardless of why it 
was lit. (The BEB locator LED can be activated as a result of the 
flash command or by the 3216 controller when it detects an error.) 
10.3.1.3 The STATUS Command 
Information for the STATUS command is retrieved from primary 
and backup tape processes. It represents the tape-process view of 
configuration and may not reflect the actual physical configuration. 
To display the drive status information for the tape drive named $TAPE, 
enter the following command: 
TAPE> STATUS DRIVE $TAPE
