ZDENSITY
corresponds to the DENSITY parameter of the MEDIACOM ADD TAPELABEL
command. ZDENSITY denotes the tape density. Valid values are:
ZUNLOAD
corresponds to the UNLOAD parameter of the MEDIACOM ADD TAPELABEL
command. ZUNLOAD (ON or OFF) denotes what happens to the tape after this
command is finished.
ON (default) means the tape is unloaded.
OFF means the tape stays loaded and online.
ZPROMPT
corresponds to the PROMPT parameter of the MEDIACOM ADD TAPELABEL
command. ZPROMPT denotes when the tape drive begins checking (polling) that a
tape is mounted.
ON (default) means that polling does not begin until you manually start it. This
message is sent to the current default output file:
\node.$tape: not ready:
When the tape is mounted, processing continues.
OFF means that polling is done immediately by the tape drive. This message is
sent to the current default output file:
\node.$tape: not ready -- beginning to poll
When the tape is mounted, processing continues.
ZSCRATCH
corresponds to the SCRATCH parameter of the MEDIACOM ADD TAPELABEL
command. The presence of ZSCRATCH denotes that a tape containing unexpired
files is converted to a scratch tape by changed the expiration date of the first file ID
on the tape to indicate that the tape has expired.
ZMCS-VAL-DENSITY-UNSPECIFIED
The tape density is unspecified.
ZMCS-VAL-DENSITY-800
The tape density is 800 BPI.
ZMCS-VAL-DENSITY-1600
The tape density is 1600 BPI (default).
ZMCS-VAL-DENSITY-6250
The tape density is 6250 BPI.
ZMCS-VAL-DENSITY-ANY
Any density is allowed.
ZMCS-VAL-DENSITY-NONE
No density is specified.
