Defining optical drives

After completing the previous library definitions, you have defined real libraries (LIBRARY1, LIBRARY2, LIBRARYA, LIBRARYB, and LIB1C) and a pseudo library (PSEUDO1). Define drives for each of these libraries. For this sample configuration, define one drive for each library (library LIB1C is not illustrated). Define two operator-accessible drives for the pseudo library. Define all of these libraries within the same SCDS named SCDS.PRIMARY.

The ISMF screens that follow provide examples for defining 3995-11x, 3995-13x, and 3995-SW3 (the drive used with all the 3995-Cxx models) drives. Where applicable, the ISMF screens are duplicated with examples for the different drive definitions.

Table 1 shows the names of the libraries and their associated drive names and drive device types as defined in the sample configuration:

Table 1. Optical libraries and their associated drive names and drive device types
Library	Drive name	Drive device type
LIBRARY1	LIB1D1	3995-133
LIBRARY2	LIB2D1	3995-113
LIBRARYA	LIBAD1	3995-SW3
LIBRARYB	LIBBD1	3995-SW3
PSEUDO1	OPA1	3995-133
PSEUDO1	OPDRV1	3995-SW3

From the Library Management Selection menu, (Figure 2), select option 2 (Optical Drive Configuration), to display the Optical Drive Application Selection menu, as shown in Figure 1. For each of the drives to be defined, enter the drive name into the drive name field, the drive device type into the drive device type field, and choose option 3 to continue with the definition.

Note: The optical drives inherit their online and system connectivity for the configuration from the library to which they belong, or in the case of operator-accessible drives, from their controlling library.

 Command ===>_

 To Perform Drive operations, Specify:
   CDS Name  . . . . . . ‘SCDS.PRIMARY’
                                 (1 to 44 Character Data Set Name or 'ACTIVE')
   Drive Name  . . . . . LIB1D1     (For Optical Drive List, fully or
                                     Partially Specified or * for all)
   Drive Device Type . . 3995-133   (For Optical Drive List, fully or
                                     Partially Specified or * for all)

Select One of the following options:
  3  1. List    - Generate a list of Drives
     2. Display - Display a Drive
     3. Define  - Define a Drive
     4. Alter   - Alter a Drive

If List Option is Chosen,
   Enter "/" to select option    _ Respecify View Criteria
                                 _ Respecify Sort Criteria
 Use ENTER to Perform Selection;
 Use HELP Command for Help; Use END Command to Exit.

Note: After the first drive definition, ISMF primes CDS NAME, DRIVE NAME, and DRIVE DEVICE TYPE with the last used reference values on the Optical Drive Application Selection panel. To define a drive, you must specify the name of an SCDS in CDS NAME, provide a name in the DRIVE NAME field, and a device type in the DRIVE DEVICE TYPE field. (The default CDS NAME is the single-quoted word ‘ACTIVE’, which represents the currently active configuration.) The ‘ACTIVE’ SCDS cannot be modified.

Choose option 3 to display the 3995 Drive Define panel with all input fields blanked out.

Note: You can leave the Drive Define panel at any time without saving optical disk drive attributes by issuing the CANCEL command.

SCDS NAME, DRIVE NAME, and MODEL NUMBER are output fields that contain the SCDS name, drive name, and model number of the drive device type you specified in the Optical Drive Application Selection panel.

Specify the following information in the OAM configuration database and make an entry in the current SCDS:

DESCRIPTION

A 120-byte field that allows you to enter a description of the drive definition. There are no restrictions on its content.

LIBRARY NAME

A 1- to 8-character library name to which the drive is assigned. For operator-accessible drives, this field is the name of a pseudo optical library.

DRIVE NUMBER

A 3-character field representing the position the drive occupies in the library. This is a required field for 3995 models and should have the following values:

1 to 4 for library-resident drives; 5 for operator accessible 3995-1xx models
1 to 999 for all other 3995 models

OPERATOR ACCESSIBLE DRIVE

Specify if this drive is an operator-accessible drive that should be connected to a controlling library.

CONTROLLING LIBRARY NAME

Specify the name of the 3995-13x or -C3A model optical library to which the operator-accessible disk drive is connected.
