Intervention Messages

The intervention screen displays intervention messages on the operator panel. The intervention screen consists of an 8-character intervention message that is displayed in a large font and a prompt. The prompt indicates that pressing Enter allows access to the Options menu. The screen also has device status information and a 2-line message area in the standard font. A drive type is displayed (see Table 2 on page 9).

Figure 6 shows the intervention screen with an example of a Mount command. The Mount command prompts the operator to mount a tape with the volume serial (volser) 123567. In this example, M means mount and S means scratch.
