<h1 class="topictitle1">Set up a tape library as a stand-alone device</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Occasionally, it might be necessary to use the tape resources in
|
||
|
|
a tape library without the benefit of the automation. An example of this is
|
||
|
|
when you perform an alternate IPL. Another example is when the tape library
|
||
|
|
automation is disabled.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Using the tape resource in this fashion is referred to as stand-alone
|
||
|
|
mode. In stand-alone mode, the tape resource operates like other tape devices
|
||
|
|
that are not in a tape library. Most tape libraries provide modes or commands
|
||
|
|
to move media to a tape resource. See the operator information for your tape
|
||
|
|
library for the different operating modes available. When automation is not
|
||
|
|
used, the tape library operates as an automatic cartridge loader for the tape
|
||
|
|
device and loads cartridges individually or sequentially in the device.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Tape
|
||
|
|
library devices are configured with tape library device descriptions for the
|
||
|
|
tape library. There are also separate tape device descriptions for the tape
|
||
|
|
resources. These tape device descriptions are the devices that are used for
|
||
|
|
stand-alone operation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To use the tape resources in stand-alone mode,
|
||
|
|
the resource must be available to the tape device description. Do the following
|
||
|
|
steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Either deallocate the tape resource from the tape library or vary
|
||
|
|
off the tape library device.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Vary on the tape device description, and send commands to this
|
||
|
|
device.</span> <p>The tape resource in iSeries™ Navigator shows a status of <span class="uicontrol">Unavailable</span>.
|
||
|
|
No tape library functions operate for this tape resource.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Mount the cartridges manually, by a device mode, or by device operator
|
||
|
|
panel commands. </span></li>
