ADD TAPEFILE Command (Super Group Only)
OFF
Polling is performed immediately by the tape drive. This message is sent to the
current default output file (usually your home terminal):
\node.$tape: not ready -- beginning to poll ...
When the tape is mounted, ADD TAPEFILE continues processing.
TAPEDRIVE \node.$tape
is a tape drive name. Include \node when the tape drive is not on your current
default node. The default is the name set by the TAPEDRIVE command. If this
option is not used and a default name is not set, the command does not execute.
This parameter is required if no value is available from the MEDIADEFS defaults or
previously set as a MEDIACOM session default (see the ENV Command on
page 2-89).
UNLOAD { ON | OFF }
determines what happens to the tape after ADD TAPEFILE is finished:
ON
unloads the tape from the tape drive. The default is ON.
OFF
leaves the tape mounted and online.
VOLCAT \node.volume-catalog-name
is the logical name of the volume catalog that owns the tape containing tape-
file-id. The default is the name set by the VOLCAT command.
Include \node when the volume catalog is not on your current default node.
This parameter is required if no value is available from the MEDIADEFS defaults or
previously set as a MEDIACOM session default (see the ENV Command on
page 2-89).
VOLUMEINDEX sequence-number
defines which tape of a tape set is mounted for the ADD TAPEFILE command. For
example, if the second tape of a tape set is mounted, sequence-number is 2.
The default is 1. For more information, see Considerations on page 2-19.
