9710 (StorageTek) Addendum for NonStop Servers

Addendum to the StorageTek 9710 for the Tandem Environment
The 5155/5159 Digital Linear Tape FRU and TMDS for K-series Servers
10-9
The following notes concern the previous STATUS command
example:
Notes:
• The controller type for $TAPE is a 3216. If $TAPE were
attached to an MFC, the controller type would be 3681.
• The unit number assigned to $TAPE when the 5190 subsystem
was added to the system configuration (using COUP or
SYSGEN) was 5. The unit number must match the SCSI ID
that is set using the drive front panel. (See “Checking and
Setting the SCSI ID”.)
• The Compression mode is on, reflecting that the compression
mode was on during the last write operation. If the
compression mode changes (as a result of a MEDIACOM
command, for example), this field does not reflect the change
until after the next write operation.
• The Cartridge map shows the location and number of cartridges
currently loaded in the ACL cartridge magazine, which is
helpful during unattended backups. The example shows
cartridges in slots 2 through 7. Slot 1 is empty because the
cartridge is in the drive.
• The Online state of the drive is: Ready, at BOT, and write
enabled; showing that the cartridge is loaded in the drive, and
that it is ready to write data.
