SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

The configured tape density in bpi of a 5170 tape drive.Density
For SCSI devices, the device ID that is configured for the device. This ID must match the SCSI
ID that is physically set in the device. Normally, tape device IDs are either 4 or 5.
DeviceID/PortName
For Fibre Channel devices, the WWPN that is configured for the path to the device. The
number is a 16 character hexadecimal number, without a leading %H.
Shows whether the tape process is allowed to run at a high PIN (ON) or only a low PIN
(OFF).
HighPin
Always shows a value of zero (0).LUN
The maximum concurrent open files allowed.MaxOpens
The processor number of the primary tape process.PrimaryCpu
The object file name of the tape process.Program
The configured record size (in bytes) for the tape drive.RecSize
The name of the SAC where the tape drive is attached. This value is determined by the SAC
number and the name of the adapter.
SAC Name
Shows whether the tape process is available to other processes (in the STARTED state) or
unavailable (in the STOPPED state) when the system is loaded.
