<h1 class="topictitle1">Use the mounted category to load groups of tapes into a tape device</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The mounted category allows a group of tapes to automatically be
|
||
|
|
loaded into a tape device.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The media are mounted in the order in which they were placed into the category.
|
||
|
|
It is similar in function to an Automatic Cartridge Loader (ACL) on the stand-alone
|
||
|
|
3490 devices. This function is available with the Set Tape Category (SETTAPCGY)
|
||
|
|
command. The mounted category is provided for all tape library devices.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To load groups of tapes into a tape device for 3494 devices, use the Library
|
||
|
|
Manager software. To load groups of tapes into a tape device for libraries
|
||
|
|
other than the 3494, use i5/OS™ (the SETTAPCGY command). Because of this difference,
|
||
|
|
the 3494 Library Manager software loads the next tape as soon as the previous
|
||
|
|
tape is unloaded. For all other libraries, the tape resource is not loaded
|
||
|
|
until a tape command requiring media is issued to the tape library device.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>With a category of mounted, a tape resource is dedicated for category mount
|
||
|
|
operations until a SETTAPCGY (*DEMOUNTED) command is issued. When the SETTAPCGY
|
||
|
|
has been issued, any i5/OS command to the tape library device with VOL(*MOUNTED)
|
||
|
|
will be directed to the tape resource that is set up for the mounted category.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One category of cartridge can be mounted per available tape resource. To
|
||
|
|
mount more than one category for a tape library the MNTID parameter must be
|
||
|
|
used with the SETTAPCGY command to identify the mounted category operations.
|
||
|
|
A job can only have one mounted category session active at a time. The mounted
|
||
|
|
category session can be released from the job that mounted the category of
|
||
|
|
cartridges and can be assigned to another job by using the *RELEASE and *ASSIGN
|
||
|
|
options on the SETTAPCGY command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ol><li>Tape management systems are notified when a category of cartridges is
|
||
|
|
mounted and demounted. When a command comes from a user to VOL(*MOUNTED),
|
||
|
|
the tape management system has the ability to accept or reject the operation. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>BRMS does not use the category of mounted to perform its processing. Using
|
||
|
|
the mounted category in combination with BRMS functions is not recommended.
|
||
|
|
Mounting a category of cartridges while concurrently using BRMS to perform
|
||
|
|
tape operations can have unpredictable results.</li>
