ZMEDIASTATUS
specifies the status assigned to the media in the media catalog. The following
values are valid:
ZTMF-VAL-ASSIGNED
specifies that the tape volume contains valid dumps. Any tape volume
specified becomes available for file recovery, provided that the file dumps
contained on that volume have not been removed from the catalog.
ZTMF-VAL-BAD
specifies that the tape volume is defective and cannot be used later for
dumping files or for file recovery.
ZTMF-VAL-RELEASED
specifies that the contents of the tape volume are no longer required for file
recovery, and that the tape is not available for reuse in dumping or for file
recovery. To use a tape older than that indicated by ZRETAINDEPTH, you
can change the status of tape volumes from RELEASED to ASSIGNED.
For more information, see the ALTER CATALOG command.
