<h1 class="topictitle1">Share cartridges</h1>
<div><p>You can share the cartridges in a tape library between multiple
platforms and iSeries™ servers.</p>
<p>When an iSeries server
is using a cartridge in a 3494 tape library, the cartridge must be in a category
accessible to the iSeries server. This can be the *SHARE400 category
or a user-defined category.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Volume protection between platforms</h4><p>When initializing
a tape, systems other than the iSeries server are able to write a 1-character
security flag to the tape label. This is to restrict users who might read
data from tapes initialized this way. Even though writing this security flag
is not available in i5/OS™, i5/OS can read tapes written with this
security flag in the tape label. When i5/OS detects the security flag, it decides
whether that user can read the data, depending on the user's special authorities.</p>
<p>When
the tape contains EBCDIC data, all users can read the tape when the security
flag contains a space (hexadecimal 40), a zero (hexadecimal F0) or a hexadecimal
00. If it contains any other value, the user needs *ALLOBJ and *SECADM authority
to read data from the tape.</p>
<p>If the tape contains ASCII data, all users
can read the tape if the security flag contains an ASCII space (hexadecimal
20). If it contains any other value, the user requires *ALLOBJ and *SECADM
authority to read data from the tape.</p>
<p>You cannot specify this security
flag when a tape is initialized on an iSeries server and is to be read on another
platform.</p>
