StorageTek 6 manual volser or vol-rangeor vol-list, Volattr, Parameters, SERial, Notes, MEDia

VOLATTR

Parameters

SERial

specifies one or more volume serial numbers (VOLSERs) to which this definition applies.

volser or vol-range or vol-list

identifies a single VOLSER, a VOLSER range, or a list of VOLSERs and/or VOLSER ranges in any combination. This parameter may include the following wildcard characters:

%or ? any single non-blank character. * any character string (length 0 to 6).

The wildcard characters shown above may not be used in a range.

Notes:

1.On a single VOLATTR statement, all volumes specified in a list or range must be the same media type (e.g., a Standard cartridge cannot be included in a range of VOLSERs that also contains an ECART or DD3A cartridge).

2.If a given VOLSER is not included in any VOLATTR statement, the MEDia value defaults to Standard; thus, RECtech defaults to LONGitud.

MEDia

optionally, specifies the type of media (cartridge) for the VOLSER designated in the SERial parameter.

Note: The SL8500 library supports only the T9x40 (9840/T9840B/T9840C and T9940A/T9940B) media types.

Only specific media types can be entered. Generic media types, that is, LONGItud and HELical, cannot be specified. Refer to the syntax for this control statement to see the parameters available to you.
