About This Guide

General Syntax Notation

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items that you supply.

Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

file-name

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:

TERM [\
INT[ERRUPTS]

system-name

.]$

terminal-name

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or
none. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on
each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by
vertical lines. For example:

FC [
[
[

K [ X | D ]

num

-num
text

]

]
]

address

-1

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to

choose one item. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned
braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated
by vertical lines. For example:

LISTOPENS PROCESS { $
{ $

ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }

appl-mgr-name
process-name

}

}

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in

brackets or braces. For example:

INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }

… Ellipsis. An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you

can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For example:

M

address

[ - ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}...

-1 [ ,

new-value

]...

An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that
syntax item any number of times. For example:

"

s-char

..."

Punctuation. Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously described

must be entered as shown. For example:

error

LISTOPENS SU $

5257/5257ACL Installation and User's Guide for NonStop Himalaya S-Series Tape Enclosures—522344-001

About This Guide

General Syntax Notation

Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a
required character that you must enter as shown. For example:

"["

repetition-constant-list

"]"

Item Spacing. Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a

punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:

CALL STEPMOM (

process-id

) ;

If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In the following
example, there are no spaces permitted between the period and any other items:

$

process-name.#su-name

Line Spacing. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation

line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line.
This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of
selections. For example:

ALTER [ / OUT
[ ,

attribute-spec

file-spec

]...

/ ] LINE

The following list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed
messages in this manual.

Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this edition of the
manual and the preceding edition. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right
margin of changed portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars
highlight new or revised information. For example:

The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL85
environment and the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).

The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for old
message types. In the CRE, the message type SYSTEM includes all messages
except LOGICAL-CLOSE and LOGICAL-OPEN.

The enclosures can be purchased as a base enclosure or a stackable enclosure. An ESD
rear cover will be on the back of the enclosures to protect the copper and fiber cabling.
The bottom compartment in the base enclosure needs to be left empty for stability and to
avoid physical injury to personnel during installation and operation. All tape enclosures
are configured for the NonStop Himalaya S-series server and are designed to fit both the
5257 drive and the 5257ACL drive.

Tape Enclosure Configuration

Valid configurations for the tape enclosures are:

For single enclosures, up to four 5257 drives or two 5257ACL drives can be stored.

•

Configuration can also include a combination of the 5257 drive and the 5257ACL
drive.

For two high enclosures, up to ten 5257 drives or five 5257ACL drives can be

•

stored. Configuration can also include a combination of the 5257 drive and
5257ACL drive.

1. Attach the male end of the power cord to a power outlet.

2. Press the power switch on the tape drive.

3. Verify that the tape drive powers on.

Power-On Self-Test

When power is applied, the tape drive performs a POST (Power-On Self-Test). The
POST finalizes in under ten seconds. While it is running, the tape drive responds BUSY
to SCSI commands and also responds to various SCSI messages.

If the Himalaya server tries to negotiate synchronous or wide transfers, the tape system
negotiates to asynchronous or narrow. Media may require more time than the duration of
POST to become ready.

Cartridge Write-Protect Switch

The tape cartridge has a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure of data.
Before loading the tape cartridge into the drive, position the write-protect switch on the
front of the cartridge:

Left, so the cartridge is write-protected

•

Right, so the cartridge is write-enabled

•

When the switch is moved to the left, a small orange rectangle appears that indicates
data cannot be written to the tape. The arrow (beneath the orange rectangle and over the
two lines on the write-protect switch) indicates that data cannot be written to the tape.

On the right side of the write-protect switch, an arrow over one line indicates that if the
operator slides the write-protect switch to the right, data can be written to the tape. See

Loading a Cartridge

1. Insert the cartridge into the receiver on the front of the tape drive. See Figure 4-4.

2. Push the cartridge completely into the drive receiver. The Drive Status LED blinks
to show that the tape is loading. When the tape reaches the BOT marker, the LED
light stops blinking, and the tape is ready for use.

Figure 4-4. Loading a Tape Cartridge

Unloading a Cartridge

Caution. Remove a cartridge from the drive before turning off the NonStop Himalaya system
power. Failure to remove a cartridge can result in cartridge and drive damage. When the
cartridge is removed from the drive, return the cartridge to its plastic case to prolong cartridge
life.

1. Press the Eject button on the front panel, and the drive completes any active writing
of data to the tape. The Drive Status LED blinks as the tape rewinds. When the tape
is finished rewinding, the drive ejects the cartridge and the Drive Status LED light
stops blinking.

2. Remove the cartridge from the drive and return it to its plastic case. See Figure 4-5

Preserving Cartridges

Pre ser ving Cartridges

For longer life of recorded or unrecorded cartridges, store cartridges in a clean
environment with these conditions:

Protect cartridges from shock, vibration, moisture and magnetic fields.

•

Do not drop or bang the cartridge. This can displace the tape leader, making the

•

cartridge unusable and may damage the drive.
If you drop a cartridge, perform a visual media inspection before inserting it into the

•

drive.
Store cartridge vertically when not in use.

•

Store the data cartridge in the plastic enclosure it was shipped in.

•

Never touch the tape or tape leader. Dust and oils from your skill will contaminate

•

the tape and affect performance.
Keep tape cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.

•

Store tape cartridge in temperatures between 10°C and 40°C (50°F to 104°F). For

•

longer cartridge life, always store the cartridge in its plastic container and in room
environment conditions of 72°F± 7°F (22°± 4°C).

5257/5257ACL Installation and User's Guide for NonStop Himalaya S-Series Tape Enclosures—522344-001

Operating the 5257 Tape Drive

If the tape cartridge has been exposed to heat or cold extremes, stabilize the

•

cartridge at room temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed (up to 24
hours).

Do not place cartridges near electromagnetic interference sources, such as terminals,

•

motors, and video or x-ray equipment to protect data.
Store tape cartridges in a dust-free environment where the relative humidity is

•

between 20 percent and 80 percent. For longer cartridge life, store the cartridge at 40
percent ± 20 percent relative humidity.

Use the sliding labels provided. Do not use adhesive labels, and do not write on the

•

cartridge.
Place an labels only in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge.

Connecting the Power Cord

1. Check that the power is off (the LCD screen is blank and no lights are illuminated).

2. Connect the power cord to the 5257ACL power receptacle, and check that it is fully
seated.

3. Connect the other end of the power cord to a nearby AC outlet.

Caution. The 5257ACL drive does not have protection against lightning surges. For this
reason, those customers located in high-risk areas should use external surge protection rated
for use in their location and be able to handle the power demand of the tape drive cabinet.

Installing the SCSI Cables

Note. Term Power is not supplied by the tape drive; it must be supplied by the Host Bus
Adapter card.

The tape drive connects to a SCSI bus and supports only the differential alternative.
All NonStop Himalaya systems should have either the SCSI ports labeled or the

international symbols displayed to indicate the electrical configuration for that port.

Installing and Configuring the 5257ACL Tape Drive

Descriptions of Configuration Options

Descriptions of Configurat io n Options

The items available on the Configuration menu are described next.

SetDataFormat

Use this setting to set the data format and enable or disable data compression. The data
format options are: Auto Selection, THZ01, THZ02, DLT2000, DLT2000XT , DL T4000,
or DLT7000. Compression cannot be enabled when either the THZ01 or THZ02 format
is used. This setting applies to the next or the currently loaded cartridge only . An unload
command returns to the default. This setting does not display the format of the loaded
tape; use the Show Status menu for this purpose. Default is Auto Selection for both
density and compression.

Set SCSI

Use this setting to enable or disable the robotics SCSI bus parity checking and set the
SCSI addresses of the drives and the robotics. The defaults are: parity on; DLT 1 Bus ID
= 5; Library Bus ID = 3.

Set Library Mode

Use this setting to set the robotics operating mode to Random or Sequential DL T1.
Random mode provides complete NonStop Himalaya control of the robotics; sequential
modes are locally controlled. Sequential DLT1 begins with any cartridge loaded into
DLT1. The 5257ACL monitors the status of DLT1, and when the cartridge is unloaded
by the NonStop Himalaya, it loads the next cartridge in magazine numerical order. This
operation continues to cycle until all of the cartridges have been loaded, or until an
empty slot is encountered. The default is Sequential.

When Sequential DLT1 is selected, an additional Sequential mode option appears that
lets you select Normal or Recirculate options. Normal option operates as described
above. In Recirculate mode, instead of stopping after the NonStop Himalaya has
unloaded the cartridge in the last slot, the operation continues by loading the cartridge in
Slot 1. Recirculation continues until an empty slot is encountered. The default for
Sequential mode is Normal.

Set Element Base

Use this setting to set the base addresses of each of the three SCSI Elements of the
module. To identify sources and destinations in SCSI commands to the robotics, the
5257ACL is divided into elements, each of which is assigned a separate designator or

Element Address. The Transport Element is the robotics mechanism itself; the
S torage Elements are the ten slots in the magazine; the Transfer Element is the drive.

The 5257ACL reports these settings in response to the SCSI Mode Sense command in
the Element Address Assignment Page. The defaults are Transport = 0000; Storage
element base = 0001; T ransfer element base = 00F0 (DLT 1).

Installing and Configuring the 5257ACL Tape Drive

Set Identification

Set Identification

Use this setting to specify the response of the 5257ACL's robotics to the SCSI Inquiry
command in the Vendor ID and the Product ID fields. The defaults are: Vendor ID =
TSI; Product ID = 525X.

Set Date

Use this setting to set the module's calendar.

Set Time

Use this setting to set the module's clock.

Set Baud Rate

Use this setting to set the data transmission rate of the module's trace port. This function
is intended for use by CE's only. The default is 38400 bits/sec.

Set Serial number

Use this setting to alter the 5257ACL's serial number stored in the unit. The 5257ACL's
robotics reports these settings in response to the SCSI Inquiry command in the Unit
Serial Number page.

Set Unloa d Mode

Use this setting to determine whether a SCSI Move Medium command is interpreted as
Implicit or Explicit. If Implicit, the module unloads a drive before attempting to move a
cartridge from that drive. If Explicit, the NonStop Himalaya must issue a SCSI Unload
command to a drive before each Move Medium command that removes a cartridge from
that drive. The default is Implicit.

Set Aut oclean Mode

Use this setting to enable an automatic cleaning cycle that operates as part of the
cartridge unload sequence whenever the Use Cleaner LED comes on. This function can
be used only in Random Operating Mode. To use this option, reserve a slot for a
cleaning cartridge by using the Reserve Slots option. The default is disabled.

Set Negotiation

This option offers two choices: Initiate Synchronous Negotiation and Set Transfer Rate.
Set Initiate Negotiate to allow the 5257ACL to initiate SCSI Synchronous Negotiation
with the NonStop Himalaya (the default is No). The 5257ACL always responds to
Himalaya-initiated negotiation.

Set Transfer Rate can be set to 10 MB/sec, 5 MB/sec or asynchronous. The default is 10
MB/sec.

Set Reserved Sl o ts

Set Reserved Slots

Use this setting to make specified number of the slots in the magazine inactive. This
function can be used only in Random Operating Mode. At least one reserved slot is
required to use the Autoclean option.

Set Special Configurations

Use this option to choose between two lengths of the Mode Sense/Select Device
Capabilities Page (SCSI Page 1fH), which are 14 bytes and 18 bytes, to accommodate
different SCSI device implementations of their page.

Set Default

The front panel includes the power switch, the magazine door, and the control panel,
which has indicators, buttons, and a display.

Power Switch

The power switch controls the supply of AC power to the 5257ACL. It is a push­on/push-off switch. When the power is on, the backplane of the control panel display is
illuminated.

Magazine Door

The magazine door is the entry way for the 10-slot magazine, which holds 10 cartridges.

Operating the 5257ACL Tape Enclosure

Control Panel

Indicators

The control panel consists of four LED indicators, a 4-line by 20 character backlit LCD
display, and four buttons.

The four LED indicators on the control panel are:

The Ready indicator (green) is illuminated when the 5257ACL is ready to accept

•

commands from either the Control Panel or the NonStop Himalaya computer. When
the Menu Mode is entered, the Ready indicator goes out.

The Use Cleaner LED (yellow) indicates that the drive requires cleaning. Insert the

•

cleaning cartridge shipped with the system and let it run. When done, the cartridge
ejects itself automatically.

When either the Drive Fault or the Loader Fault LED (red) is illuminated, a Fault

•

Screen appears on the LCD display. The Fault Screen is described later in this
section.

Control Panel

Buttons

The four buttons on the control panel are labeled Escape, Enter,, and. These
buttons do not directly control specific functions or options. Instead, use the scroll
buttons to navigate from the Default Screen through a multilevel menu structure, then
select the desired option from the appropriate menu by pressing Enter.

Important usage tips are:

To enter the Menu mode and display the Main menu from the Default screen, press

•

Enter.
To return to the Main menu from a submenu, press Escape repeatedly until the Main

•

menu appears. Pressing the Escape button while the Main menu is displayed exits
the Menu mode and returns you to the Default screen.

To display the Show Status menu only without entering the Menu mode, press

•

Escape at the Default screen. The system remains online.

Note. When the Menu mode is entered, the Ready light goes out. This means that the module
is offline, and the system responds to a ll commands from the Himalaya with a SCSI Not Ready
message until the Menu mode is exited, and the Ready light goes on.

Display

The display on the control panel is capable of displaying four lines of 20 characters
each, to allow the use of easy-to-understand messages.

Note. There is an auto-repeat feature for the scroll buttons. When you press either scroll
button for more than one-half second, the control panel behaves as if you were pressing and
releasing the button four times per second. This effect stops when you release the button.

Display M essage s

The control panel display can show messages of up to four lines of 20 characters each.
Many of these messages and their functions are described next. Those displays that are
described in other sections are cross-referenced here.

Power-On Self-Test Screen

When power is first applied to the module, a series of power-on self-test (POST)
diagnostics are performed. During POST execution, the model number of the module,
the current date and time, the firmware revision, and the status or result of the test in
progress are displayed on the control panel, as shown in Figure 6-3.

The first line in Figure 6-6 shows a numerical fault symptom code (FSC). The second
line shows a brief description of the error, in place of the Error Description message.
The third and fourth lines contain a one-line or two-line message describing the initial
error recovery procedure (ERP).

Selecting Control Panel Display Modes

As previously described, the POST screens, the Initialization screen and the Default
screen appear without operator or Himalaya intervention. The Fault screens appear
whenever a fault occurs. The screens that follow appear in response to operator actions.

Media Locks

To avoid accidental interruption of module operation while the Himalaya is accessing
the module, the control panel can be electronically locked by using the Security menu

5257/5257ACL Installation and User's Guide for NonStop Himalaya S-Series Tape Enclosures—522344-001

6-5

Operating the 5257ACL Tape Enclosure

described later in this section. After the contr ol panel is locked, you must use an unlock
code to enter the Menu mode. The control panel lock prevents access to the Unlock
Door item on the Main menu; therefore, it locks the med ia as well. See the information
on the Security menu under "Navigating the Main Menu" on page XXXXXXXXXXXX.

The media can be locked by software running on the NonStop Himalaya system, using
the SCSI Allow/Prevent Medium Removal command. The 5257ACL provides no
control panel override for this command. Exiting the Himalaya system, you can restore
media access by cycling 5257ACL power.

Tape Requirements

Tape Requirements

The 5257ACL tape drives accept the Super DLTtape 1 cartridge. Native and compressed
capacity ranges for the Super DLTtape 1 cartridge are:

Native storage capacity = 110 GB

•

Compressed storage capacity = 220 GB (2:1 compression ratio)

•

In accordance with industry practice, a typical compression ratio of 2:1 is quoted. Actual
compression ratios achieved are dependent on the redundancy of data files being
recorded.

Cartridge Handling and Storage

Super DLTtape 1 cartridges are manufactured to withstand 1,000,000 passes and have a
shelf life of 30 years. For best results, follow the guidelines for media care under

Preserving Cartridges

Note. The safety of your data relies on proper care and handling of media cartridges.

Note. See the environment specifications provided in the plastic cartridge case for detailed

mediainformation.

Wr it e Protection

To prevent accidental erasure of your data, each media cartridge has a write-protect
switch. When active, this switch prevents data from being written to the cartridge.

Caution. For valuable data, always make sure that the cartridge is write-protected before
inserting it into the drive.

To enable write-protection, move the switch on the front of the cartridge down, so that
the small orange rectangle appears.

To disable write-protection, move the switch up so that the orange rectangle is not
visible.

When a write-protected cartridge is inserted into the drive, the yellow Write Protect
LED on the panel lights. Set as new head.

The Load/Unload menu enables the operator to specify a source and a destination for a
cartridge movement. As a result, the procedure to load is the same for unloading. To
load or unload a tape from the front panel of the module, use the Load/Unload menus as
shown in Figure 6-21

.

Initial Screen - 'From' Line

The list on line 2 (Figure 6-23

) the From line includes the drive and every magazine slot
that has a cartridge in it (a cartridge cannot be selected from a slot or drive that is
empty).

Initial Screen - 'To' Line

The list on line 4 (Figure 6-28

) the To line includes all of the valid destination choices;
that is, all slots that are empty (a cartridge cannot be placed into a slot or drive that
already contains one). If the drive is empty, it appears on this list.

Scroll List - 'To' Line

There is another limitation on the To list. If the drive has been selected on the From
screen, the To list can include only slots. If a slot has been selected on the From screen,
the To list can contain only the drive.

Suppose that the operator wants to unload the cartridge that is in DLT1 into any
available slot. Scroll two lines back to DLT1. The display shown in Figure 6-24

Configuring the Modular Tape Enclosure for the

NonStop Himalaya S-Series Servers (SNDA)

Configuring the M odular Tape Enclosure for the NonStop Himalaya S-Series Servers (SNDA)

When a SNDA is installed, it is automatically assigned a name in the configuration
database that is a concatenation on:

The name of the storage enclosure manager ($ZZSTO)

•

The type of adapter (the 6760 SNDA)

•

The location (group, module, slot) where the adapter is installed

•

For example, the name of the 6760 adapter installed in slot 53 of the group 1 enclosure
is:

$ZZSTO.#SNDA.GRP-1.MOD-1.SLOT-53

For more information about installing the SNDA, see the 6760 ServerNet/DA Manual.

Configuring the M odular Tape Subsystem Online Using SCF (SNDA)

This subsection describes how to connect an external tape drive to a ServerNet/DA
adapter.

Example 1: Add ing a Tape Drive

To add a tape drive to the system configuration database, the tape drive need not be
physically installed, but the adapter that controls the tape drive must be installed. Use
the SCF ADD TAPE command to add a tape drive.

To add a tape drive with a SCSI ID of 5 named $TAPE0 to SAC 1 of an SNDA adapter
in group 2, module 1, slot 54, enter this command at an SCF prompt:

-> ADD TAPE $TAPE0, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (2,1,54), &

-> SAC 1, DEVICEID 5

For complete details about the SCF ADD TAPE command, including command syntax,
see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.

Example 2: Changing the Values of Tape Drive Attributes (SNDA)

Note. These examples are for illustrative purposes only.

Use the SCF ALTER TAPE command to change the attribute values for a tape drive
attached to the system. The ALTER command changes only the attributes specified in
the command.

7-2

Configuring the 5257/5257ACL Tape Drive for the
NonStop Himalaya S-Series Server

This example of the ALTER command changes the value of the compression

•

attribute for the tape drive (5257/5257ACL) $TAPE0 to OFF and then issues the

SCF INFO command to make sure that the change has taken place:

->ALTER TAPE $TAPE0, COMPRESSION OFF

->INFO TAPE $TAPE0

This example changes tape drive $TAPE1 so that its tape process runs only at a low

•

IOP (input/output process) and then checks to make sure that the change has taken

place:

->ALTER TAPE $TAPE1, HIGHPIN OFF

->INFO TAPE $TAPE1, DETAIL

This example specifies that a maximum of 32 concurrent files have opened for the

•

tape drive $TAPE 1:

->ALTER TAPE $TAPE1, NUMOPENERS 32

For more information on the ALTER and INFO commands, see the SCF Reference
Manual for the Storage Subsystem.

Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System

(SNDA)

Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System (SNDA)

Use the SCF DELETE TAPE command to delete a tape drive from the system
configuration database.

Before issuing the DELETE command, use the SCF STATUS command to verify that
the tape drive is in the stopped state. For example:

->STATUS TAPE $TAPE0

If the STATUS command shows that the tape drive is not in the state, use the SCF STOP
command to place the tape drive in the state. For example:

->STOP TAPE $TAPE0

This example removes tape drive $TAPE0 from the system configuration:

->DELETE TAPE $TAPE0

Use the INFO command to verify that the tape drive has been removed from the system:

->INFO $TAPE0*

For more information on the STATUS, DELETE, and INFO commands, see the SCF
Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.

Configuring the Modular Tape Enclosure Online Using SCF (PMF/IOMF)

Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure tape drives for the NonStop
Himalaya S-Series processors. SCF allows adding, changing of the attributes, and
deleting a tape drive. You can run SCF from any terminal attached to the system after
logging on.

Using SCF, you can do the following:

Obtain configuration information about a tape drive

•

Restore access to a tape drive

•

Stop access to a tape drive if there is no activity

•

List tape drive status

•

Switch the primary processor for a tape drive

•

This section provides examples of configuring cartridge tape drives using SCF. The
examples show how to define and add a tape drive to the system configuration. For a
complete description of how to configure and manage tape drives using SCF, see the
SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.

Example 1: Defining and Adding a Tape Drive (PMF/IOMF)

Use the SCF ADD TAPE command to define and add a 5257/5257ACL tape drive to the
system configuration. Before issuing the ADD TAPE command, ensure that the tape
drive is installed properly. The following example adds a 5257/5257ACL drive FRU,
“$TAPE0,” to the system configuration:

->ADD TAPE $TAPE0, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (1,1,55), &

->PRIMARYCPU 0, BACKUPCPU 1,

Configuring the 5257/5257ACL Tape Drive for the
NonStop Himalaya S-Series Server

The following notes explain this example:

The LOCATION attribute specifies the location (group, module, and slot) of the

•

PMF CRU (adapter) to which the tape drive is attached.

The DEVICEID attribute shows the device ID that is configured for the device. This

•

ID must match the SCSI ID that is physically set in the device.

The PRIMARYCPU attribute specifies the processor in which the primary tape

•

process should execute.

The BACKUPCPU attribute specifies the processor in which the tape process starts

•

its backup process.

Issue the SCF INFO TAPE command after the ADD TAPE command is finished to
verify that the tape drive has been properly configured. For example:

->INFO TAPE $TAPE0, DETAIL

The following ADD TAPE command adds a 5257/5257ACL tape drive connected to the
PMF CRU in group 02, module 1, and slot 50 to the system configuration using the
name $TAPE1:

-> DEVICEID 5, PRIMARYCPU 2, BACKUPCPU 3,

For more information on the ADD and INFO commands, see the SCF Reference Manual
for the Storage Subsystem.

Example 2: Changing the Values of Tape Drive Attributes (PMF/IOMF)

Use the SCF ALTER TAPE command to change the attribute values for a tape drive
attached to the system. The ALTER command changes only the attributes specified in
the command.

Note. This example is

The following example of the ALTER command changes the value of the

•

compression attribute for the tape drive (5257/5257ACL) $TAPE0 to OFF and then

issues the SCF INFO command to make sure that the change has taken place:

->ALTER TAPE $TAPE0, COMPRESSION OFF

->INFO TAPE $TAPE0

The following example changes tape drive $TAPE1 so that its tape process runs only

(PMF/IOMF)

Example 3: De l eting a Tape Drive From the System (PMF/IOMF)

Use the SCF DELETE TAPE command to delete a tape drive from the system
configuration database.

Before issuing the DELETE command, use the SCF S TATUS command to verify that
the tape drive is in the stopped state. For example:

->STATUS TAPE $TAPE0

If the STATUS command shows that the tape drive is not in the STOPPED state, use the
SCF STOP command to place the tape drive in the STOPPED state. For example:

->STOP TAPE $TAPE0

The following example removes tape drive $TAPE0 from the system configuration:

->DELETE TAPE $TAPE0

Use the INFO command to verify that the tape drive has been removed from the sys tem:

->INFO $TAPE0*

The only required maintenance task is to periodically run or replace the cleaning
cartridge. User Diagnostics on the Demo submenu can be used to check the operation of
the 5257ACL.

Cleaning Cartridge

To run a cleaning cartridge, issue a command to run the cartridge from the control panel,
or select the Auto Clean mode on the Configure menu, described in Set Autoclean Mode
on page 5-7. The procedures that follow describe how to install a cleaning cartridge,
how to clean a drive using front panel controls, and how to remove the cleaning
cartridge.

Required Location for the Cleaning Cartridge

If the cleaning cartridge is run only manually, there are no restrictions on the location of
the cleaning cartridge; however, if the Auto Clean option is required, one or more slots
in the magazine must be reserved by using the Reserved Slots option described in Set

Reserved Slots on page 5-8. Any reserved slots in the magazine become inaccessible to

the host software. In these cases, the ACL designates these inaccessible slots as cleaning
cartridge slots. On line 4 of the screen shown in Figure 8-3
instead of Slot 10. If slots have been reserved, Cleaning Slot 1 is the first reserved slot in
the magazine.

, Cleaning Slot 1 appears
