Type (TYPE)

Specifies the type of media to work with.

This is a required parameter.

*OPTVOL: This option allows you to work with optical volumes that are defined to OnDemand. Using this option, you may add, remove, display, and change the optical volumes.
*STGGRP: This option allows you to work with an optical storage group. Using this option, you may create, delete, display, and change the storage groups.
*TAPDEV: This option allows you to work with the tape devices that are defined to OnDemand. Using this option, you may add, remove, display, and change the tape devices.
*TAPVOL: This option allows you to work with tape volumes that are defined to OnDemand. Using this option, you may add, remove, display, and change the tape volumes.

Optical volume (OPTVOL)

Specifies the identifier of an optical volume for which entries are shown on the Work with Optical Volumes display.

Note: If you press the F4 key for this parameter while prompting the command, a list of all the valid entries is presented to you.

*ALL: All volumes are shown.
generic*-optical-volume-identifier: Specify the generic identifier of the optical volumes to work with.
optical-volume-identifier: Specify the identifier of an optical volume to work with.

Storage group (STGGRP)

Specifies the name of the optical storage group for which entries are shown on the Work with OnDemand Storage Groups display.

Note: If you press the F4 key for this parameter while prompting the command, a list of all the valid entries is presented to you.

*ALL: All storage groups are shown.
generic*-storage-group-name: Specify the generic name of the storage groups to work with
storage-group-name: Specify the name of a storage group to work with.

Tape device (TAPDEV)

Specifies the name of a tape device for which entries are shown on the Work with OnDemand Tape Devices display.

Note: If you press the F4 key for this parameter while prompting the command, a list of all the valid entries is presented to you.

*ALL: All tape devices are shown.
generic*-tape-device-name: Specify the generic name of the tape devices to work with.
tape-device-name: Specify the name of a tape device to work with.

Tape volume (TAPVOL)

Specifies the identifier of a tape volume for which entries are shown on the Work with OnDemand Tape Volumes display.

Note: If you press the F4 key for this parameter while prompting the command, a list of all the valid entries is presented to you.

*ALL: All tape volumes are shown.
generic*-tape-volume-identifier: Specify the generic identifier of the tape volumes to work with.
tape-volume-identifier: Specify the identifier of a tape volume to work with.

Examples

Example 1: Simple Example

WRKMEDRDAR TYPE(*OPTVOL)

This command example initiates the OnDemand media functions for all optical volumes (*OPTVOL). Other media types that can be specified include storage groups (*STGGRP), tape devices (*TAPDEV), and tape volumes (*TAPVOL).

Example 2: More Complex Example

WRKMEDRDAR TYPE(*OPTVOL) OPTVOL(OND*)

This command is similar to Example 1 but provides a generic value for the optical volume name to subset the list of volume names with which to work. Each media type described in Example 1 allows the entry of a specific name, a generic name, or *ALL.
