Operator command support changes

z/OS DFSMS Software Support for IBM System Storage TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120 Tape Drives (3592)
SC23-6854-00

Volumes with EFMT2 recording technology are only displayed on systems with full 3592 Model E05 support installed. MEDIA9 and MEDIA10 volumes are only displayed on z/OS V1R5 or above systems with full 3592 Model E05 support installed.

These operator tasks have been changed in support of the 3592 Model E05 tape drives.

  • When appropriate, the DISPLAY SMS,VOLUME command can now display the new EFMT2 recording technology, and the new MEDIA9/MEDIA10 media types, in the output display for CBR1180I (OAM tape volume status).
  • The LIBRARY DISPDRV command displays 3592-2 for the 3592 Model E05 tape drives in the output display for CBR1220I (Tape drive status). MEDIA9 or MEDIA10 is displayed as appropriate in this display.
  • The LIBRARY ENTER command allows MEDIA9 or MEDIA10 to be set when entering the new media types into a manual tape library.
  • The DISPLAY SMS,LIBRARY(library-name),DETAIL command displays MEDIA9 and MEDIA10 scratch counts, scratch thresholds, and scratch categories in the output display for CBR1110I.
  • The LIBRARY DISABLE command allows CBRUXVNL to be specified, disabling the volume not in library exit.
    Note: This does not disable job processing but does result in the volume not in library installation exit being bypassed or not called. In the absence of the CBRUXVNL installation exit's intervention, Job Step Setup processing attempts to allocate an applicable stand-alone tape drive for a volume that has been inadvertently ejected from a tape library. If there is no stand-alone drive capable of handling the tape volume request, the job or dynamic allocation fails. During Device Allocation or during Library Mount Processing, normal job processing for a volume not in the library with no CBRUXVNL installation exit intervention results in the job step or dynamic allocation failing.
  • The DISPLAY SMS,OAM command, which already includes the status of the CBRUXVNL exit, displays OPERATOR DISABLED for the VNL exit, if appropriate.
  • The LIBRARY SETCL command now allows MEDIA9 or MEDIA10 to be set for a 3592 Model E05 device that supports a cartridge loader.
