DUMP FILES
ZTMF-TKN-Media
for dumps to tape, specifies the name of the tape volume on which the dump is to 
be stored. Specify the identifier magnetically encoded in the tape volume label and 
registered in the TMF catalog. Either ZTMF-TKN-Media or ZTMF-TKN-DiskMedia 
is required; multiple occurrences are allowed.
If this token is present in the command buffer, TMF attempts to use the tape 
volume specified, as described in “Online Dumps to Tape” in the DUMP FILES 
command in the TMF Reference Manual.
If no medium is specified (that is, if neither ZTMF-TKN-Media nor ZTMF-TKN-
DiskMedia is present), tape media is assumed by default and a scratch tape is 
selected from among those listed in the TMF catalog. 
ZTMF-TKN-DiskMedia
for dumps to disk, specifies the disk volume on which the online dumps are 
located. Either ZTMF-TKN-Media or ZTMF-TKN-DiskMedia is required; multiple 
occurrences are allowed. The maximum number of disks allowed is 10.
If you specify more than one disk, the subsystem tries to send the online dump to 
the first disk listed. If that disk cannot be accessed or is out of space, the 
subsystem tries the next disk, and so forth.
When the disk resides on a remote node:
•
The disk name must be fully qualified.
•
The volume name must not exceed seven characters, counting the dollar 
sign ($).
•
You cannot specify ZT as the prefix.
When the disk resides on a home (local) node:
•
The node name and the prefix are optional.
•
If the node name is not specified, the node on which your TMFSERVE is 
running is assigned.
•
You can specify any value for the prefix.
•
If the prefix is not specified, the local-node default, ZT, is automatically 
assigned as the prefix.
Optical discs are not supported for dump-to-disk operations.
If you specify ZTMF-TKN-DiskMedia, you must not specify the following fields: 
ZCopies, ZBlockSize, ZVerifyTape, and ZSystemName.
