SET TAPEMEDIA
RELEASED
indicates that the contents of the tape volume are no longer required for file
recovery, but the tape cannot be used for dumping.
SCRATCH
indicates that the tape volume can be used for dumping files.
UNLOAD {ON | OFF}
determines whether the tape volume is unloaded after it is labeled. ON unloads
the tape volume. OFF suppresses unloading. The default is ON.
Security Restrictions
Anyone can issue the SET TAPEMEDIA command.
TMF State Requirement
You can enter the SET TAPEMEDIA command at any time, whether or not TMF has
been started.
Usage Guidelines
The values specified in SET TAPEMEDIA are local to your current session only and
are not propagated to TMFSERVE. These values take effect when you issue
subsequent ADD TAPEMEDIA commands within your session and cease to apply
when your session ends.
You might want to use SET TAPEMEDIA when you expect to issue several subsequent
ADD TAPEMEDIA commands, using the SET TAPEMEDIA values for certain
specifications in most instances and overriding the default values. In this way, the SET
TAPEMEDIA values are carried forward to all the ADD TAPEMEDIA commands in your
session, so that you need to enter specific alternative values only as you want.
The catalog is not updated if the tape volume is not labeled successfully.
Specifying the same value for attribute more than once in a SET TAPEMEDIA
command returns an error.
You can display the specification values established by the most recent SET
TAPEMEDIA command in your session by entering the SHOW TAPEMEDIA
command.
For additional guidelines, see the ADD TAPEMEDIA command description earlier in
this section.
