Example—Dedicating a Tape Drive to the Production System
Tape drive 5C0 should be dedicated to the production system, z/VM®,
as virtual device 5C0. When you enter:
query 5c0
CP tells
you that tape drive 5C0 is offline. For example, to dedicate it to
the production system, enter:
vary online 5c0
attach 5c0 vmsp
At the z/VM system console, enter appropriate z/VM commands
to make sure the tape drive is usable.
