ALTER TAPEVOLUME Command
(Super Group Only)
11> & USE OUT,&
11> & VOLUME T66,&
11> & POOL ACCT_TAPES,&
11> & FILEID WEEKLY_AND_PAYABLE
The mount message you see after starting the program is:
... $ZSVR : 0099 *MC* MOUNT T66 WITHOUT WRITE PROTECTION
However, you cannot find tape T66, so you use ALTER TAPEMOUNT to have a
replacement scratch tape DSM/TC chose:
MC> ALTER TAPEMOUNT 99
After DSM/TC chooses a new scratch tape from the ACCT_TAPES pool, a new
mount message appears:
... $ZSVR : 0099 *MC* MOUNT T75 ON $T003
In response to the message, find T75 and mount it on the drive.
ALTER TAPEVOLUME Command
(Super Group Only)
ALTER TAPEVOLUME changes the status and media type of a tape in the volume
catalog and its pool. This command does not change the 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 recatalog the tapes with new attribute values with the
ADD TAPEVOLUME command.
tape-name
is the name of the tape as written in the tape label. Wild-card characters are
permitted in this name.
