LCS external services changes

External Services supports the TS1130 tape drive media types, MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, MEDIA8, MEDIA9, and MEDIA10, and the new recording technologies EFMT3 and EEFMT3. It also supports, for media interchange, the older recording technologies EFMT1, EFMT2 and EEFMT2. Also, remember that the TS1130 (3592 Model E06) tape drive can only read the EFMT1 recording format and, as previously indicated, only if the read-compatible special attribute indicator is set, will a 3592-3E device be considered eligible for an EFMT1 formatted volume. The following functions are supported:

Change use attribute
Query volume residence
Test volume eligibility
Eject a volume
Manual cartridge entry

Note:

The MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, and MEDIA8 media types are valid with the EFMT1, EFMT2, EEFMT2, EFMT3, and EEFMT3 recording technologies.
The MEDIA9 and MEDIA10 media types are valid only with the EFMT2, EEFMT2, EFMT3, and EEFMT3 recording technologies.
In general, in an environment sharing the TCDB at different software levels, if a lower-level system without appropriate support attempts to perform one of the CBRXLCS functions using a volume that has EFMT3 or EEFMT3 recording technology, the request fails with existing return code LCSFAIL (12) and existing reason code LCSFNSUP (310).
