You can use the drive alter option to alter the attributes of an existing drive. Altering a drive definition results in updating the database drive row for that drive. The alter option is available only when OAM is not running.
To alter a drive definition in the OAM configuration database and the SCDS, start from the Drive Application Selection panel, shown in Figure 3, and specify the name of the SCDS containing the drive you want to change. Specify the drive name and select option 4, ALTER. For the 3995 optical drive, ISMF displays the 3995 Drive Alter panel shown in Figure 1.
