ALTER TAPEVOLUME Command

ZMCS-CMD-ALTER (super-group only)

ALTER TAPEVOLUME changes the status of a tape in the volume catalog and its pool.

It does not change the status if the tape is ASSIGNED (the tape has unexpired files on

it), SELECTED (the tape is requested for use), or in USE (the tape is mounted on a

tape drive and data is being written to it).

This command does not change catalog information such as density, pool, volume

catalog name, and so on. To make these types of changes, you must delete the tape’s

entries in the volume catalog and pool with a DELETE TAPEVOLUME command and

catalog the tapes again with new attribute values, using ADD TAPEVOLUME.
