TAPE_LABEL_PROCESSING (Optional)

Only if you are running SYSGENR outside of DSM/SCM should you change the

CONFTEXT configuration file to specify the new SYSnn subvolume.

The syntax of this entry is shown here.

is a user-specified 2-digit octal number in the range %00 through %77.

To determine the location of the current SYSnn subvolume, use the SYSINFO

command. Following is an example display.

System number G40063

Software release ID G06.11

TAPE_LABEL_PROCESSING (Optional)

This entry enables tape-label processing for tapes with American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) labels and standard IBM labels (OS/MVS). For further information on

tape-label processing, see the Guardian User’s Guide. If you enable or disable tape-

label processing using SCF (as described in the SCF Reference Manual for the

Storage Subsystem), this CONFTEXT entry is ignored.

ENABLED

requires that all tapes used by the system be labeled unless explicitly exempted.

After the system is loaded, you must start the $ZSVR process in order to access

any tape drives. The command to start $ZSVR is as follows:

>ZSERVER / NAME $ZSVR, NOWAIT, CPU primary/backup

DISABLED

requires that all tapes used by the system be unlabeled. This is the default value.

You can also explicitly specify DISABLED to document that the system generated

by this particular CONFTEXT file does not include labeled-tape processing.

SYSTEM_VOLUME_SUBVOL $SYSTEM.SYSnn;

TAPE_LABEL_PROCESSING { ENABLED | DISABLED };
