DFSMShsm can use MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, MEDIA8, MEDIA9, and MEDIA10 as input. In an SMS environment, the choice of an input drive for a particular tape is controlled by the library and is transparent to DFSMShsm. In a non-SMS environment, the choice of drives is controlled by the unit name recorded in the tape's CDS records. This unit name is the name of the original output unit selected by the installation, or its generic equivalent. In a mixed non-SMS environment where more than one tape technology is associated with a generic unit name, you must use esoteric names for the output unit and its associated input unit. You can use MEDIA5, MEDIA7, and MEDIA9 tapes as input for all DFSMShsm functions. Besides these media types, you can also use MEDIA6, MEDIA8, and MEDIA10 tapes for ABARS processing. |
