IBM Magstar 3494 manual Native 3590 use

for validating the ranges that have been de®ned for physical volumes. J-type

cartridges that are not in a VTS range of stacked volumes will be inserted for

native 3590 use.

5. J-type cartridges that are intended for native 3590 use must be moved into the

Insert category. The Volser ranges pushbutton allows validation of physical

stacked volume ranges to insure that native 3590 cartridges will not become

VTS stacked volumes

6. The Category Recovery section in ªAppendix B. Virtual Tape Server

Import/Export Advanced Functionº on page 307 provides instructions for

recovery from errors made when moving cartridges from the Unassigned

category.

Note: The Convenience Input¤Output Station is used for Exported Stacked Volumes

to be Imported, VTS stacked volumes, and J-type 3590 native use volumes.

The task of moving volumes from the Unassigned category into the Import or

Insert categories can be simpli®ed by scheduling insertion of different volume

types at different times.
