ADD TAPE Command
configuration, and the object type must match that of the object affected by this
command. If you specify LIKE, any attribute values that you explicitly specify
override the attribute values of the LIKE object.
The location, SAC, and device ID values are not copied from the LIKE object. To
assign values to these attributes, you must explicitly specify them.
attribute-spec
is one or more ADD TAPE Attributes.
ADD TAPE Attributes
[ , BACKUPCPU number ]
[ , COMPRESSION { ON | OFF } ]

[ , DEVICEID number ]
[ , HIGHPIN { ON | OFF } ]
[ , LOCATION ( group,module,slot ) ]
[ , LUN number ]
[ , MAXOPENS number ]
[ , PRIMARYCPU number ]
[ , PORTNAME number ]
[ , PROGRAM { [$vol.]subvol.]fileid } ]
[ , RECSIZE number ]
[ , SAC { number | name } ]

BACKUPCPU number
is the processor in which the backup IOP starts. If you omit this attribute, the
processor is automatically chosen based on the physical location of the device.
COMPRESSION { ON | OFF }
(cartridge tapes only) specifies whether data compression is configured.
This setting can be overridden by the MEDIACOM ALTER TAPEDRIVE
MEDIADEFS command. See the discussion of date compression in the DSM/Tape
Catalog User’s Guide.
DENSITY { 1600 | 6250 }
(5170 tape drives only) is the tape density in bpi. (Other tape drives use a
standard density which is displayed by the INFO TAPE command.) The default
is 6250.
ON The tape process compresses data using Improved Data Recovery
Capability when writing to the cartridge tape (default).
OFF The tape process does not compress data when writing to the cartridge
tape.
