The NUMBERSCRATCHVOLUMES parameter and the SCRATCHTHRESHOLD parameter include the MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, and MEDIA8 subparameters for the IBM System Storage family of tape media.

[NUMBERSCRATCHVOLUMES(MEDIA1(num) MEDIA2(num) MEDIA3(num) MEDIA4(num) MEDIA5(num) MEDIA6(num) MEDIA7(num) MEDIA8(num))]

Identifies the total number of MEDIA1, MEDIA2, MEDIA3, MEDIA4, and MEDIA5 scratch volumes currently available in the given tape library.

MEDIA1(num)

Is the number of Cartridge System Tape scratch volumes available. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA2(num)

Specifies the number of Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape scratch volumes available. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA3(num)

Is the number of High Performance Cartridge Tape scratch volumes available. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA4(num)

Specifies the number of IBM Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape scratch volumes available. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA5(num)

Specifies the number of IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge scratch volumes available. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA6(num)

[SCRATCHTHRESHOLD(MEDIA1(num) MEDIA2(num) MEDIA3(num) MEDIA4(num) MEDIA5(num) MEDIA6(num) MEDIA7(num) MEDIA8(num))]

Identifies the scratch volume message threshold. When the number of scratch volumes in the tape library falls below the scratch threshold, an operator action message, requesting that scratch volumes be entered into the tape library, is issued to the library console. When the number of scratch volumes exceeds twice the scratch threshold, the message is removed from the console.

MEDIA1(num)

Specifies the threshold number of Cartridge System Tape scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA2(num)

Specifies the threshold number of Enhanced Capacity System Tape scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA3(num)

Specifies the threshold number of High Performance Cartridge Tape scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA4(num)

Specifies the threshold number of IBM Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA5(num)

Specifies the threshold number of IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA6(num)

Specifies the threshold number of IBM TotalStorage Enterprise WORM Tape Cartridge scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA7(num)

Specifies the threshold number of IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Economy Tape Cartridge scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.

MEDIA8(num)

Specifies the threshold number of IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Economy WORM Tape Cartridge scratch volumes. Use a number from 0 to 999999. The default is 0.
