Recovering a 3480 Tape for a Stand-Alone Dump

To use an IBM® 3480 Magnetic Tape Subsystem for a stand-alone dump, the operator has to recover a 3480 if the JES3 global processor failed.

JES3-managed 3480s are always assigned to more than one processor, that is, they are assigned so that they belong to one or more local processors and the global processor.
