|

|
|
<div><p>Optical media libraries range from a model that has a single
|
||
|
|
drive to a model that has twelve drives. Use the Work with Media Library Status
|
||
|
|
(WRKMLBSTS) command to see the allocation status of each drive within a media
|
||
|
|
library. The allocation status for a drive can be ALLOCATED, DEALLOCATED or
|
||
|
|
*UNKNOWN.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The default allocation status for an optical drive is ALLOCATED, which
|
||
|
|
means that the drive is available for use by the optical media library. The
|
||
|
|
system sets this default value at IPL time. You can only change it using the
|
||
|
|
Work with Media Library Status (WRKMLBSTS) command. DEALLOCATED means that
|
||
|
|
the drive becomes unavailable for use by the optical media library. The allocation
|
||
|
|
status for drives in a varied off optical media library is *UNKNOWN.</p>
|
||
|
|
<br /><div class="imageleft"><img src="rzam4025.gif" alt="Work with Media
Library Status" /></div><br /><p>There are times when a drive should be removed from serving the optical
|
||
|
|
media library such as when it is suspected of needing repair. To do this,
|
||
|
|
you need to change the drive allocation status to DEALLOCATED. This will make
|
||
|
|
the drive unavailable for use by the optical media library.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To deallocate a drive, select option 6 (Deallocate resource) on the desired
|
||
|
|
device or resource. </p>
|
||
|
|
<br /><div class="imageleft"><img src="rzam4026.gif" alt="Work with Media
Library Status" /></div><br /><p>The device allocation status of DEALLOCATED will remain until the drive
|
||
|
|
is allocated again or the iSeries™ server is IPLed. </p>
