Category
(in hex)	Name	De®nition

		an inventory entry for the volume, and assigns the
		volume to this category. The attached hosts are
		noti®ed when one or more volumes are assigned to
		this category. Logical volumes are also added to the
		FF00 when they are inserted via an operator panel.

		more information.
FF01	Virtual Tape Server	Set when a stacked tape volume associated with a
	(VTS) Insert	VTS is added to the inventory. The 3494 reads the
		external label on the volume, creates an inventory
		entry for the volume, uses the volser ranges to
		associate the volume with a VTS, and assigns the
		volume to this category. The associated VTS is noti®ed
		when one or more volumes are assigned to this
		category.
FF03	VTS Scratch	Assigned by the VTS to stacked volumes that are
		scratch in the VTS.

		category or a category de®ned as ªFast-Readyº, and
		they are not in use. When a logical volume is ejected,
