Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System
(SNDA)
•
This example of the ALTER command changes the value of the compression
attribute for the tape drive (5258ACL) $TAPE0 to OFF and then issues the SCF
INFO command to make sure that the change has taken place:
-> ALTER TAPE $TAPE0, COMPRESSION OFF
-> INFO TAPE $TAPE0
•
This example changes tape drive $TAPE1 so that its tape process runs only at a low
IOP (input/output process) and then checks to make sure that the change has taken
place:
-> ALTER TAPE $TAPE1, HIGHPIN OFF
-> INFO TAPE $TAPE1, DETAIL
•
This example specifies that a maximum of 32 concurrent files have opened for the
tape drive $TAPE 1:
-> ALTER TAPE $TAPE1, NUMOPENERS 32
For more information on the ALTER and INFO commands, see the SCF Reference
Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System (SNDA)
Use the SCF DELETE TAPE command to delete a tape drive from the system
configuration database.
Before issuing the DELETE command, use the SCF STATUS command to verify that
the tape drive is in the stopped state. For example:
-> STATUS TAPE $TAPE0
If the STATUS command shows that the tape drive is not in the STOPPED state, use the
SCF STOP command to place the tape drive in the STOPPED state. For example:
-> STOP TAPE $TAPE0
This example removes tape drive $TAPE0 from the system configuration:
-> DELETE TAPE $TAPE0
Use the INFO command to verify that the tape drive has been removed from the system:
-> INFO $TAPE0*
For more information on the STATUS, DELETE, and INFO commands, see the SCF
Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
