VOLATTR

STK2P, STK2W

indicates a T9940 cartridge. The media indicator in the external label is encoded with the cartridge type (P or W).

Note: STK2P or STK2W can be abbreviated to P or W, respectively.

Types of T9940 cartridges, along with their associated media capacities are:

•STK2P — 60GB (T9940A) or 200GB (T9940B)

•STK2W — cleaning cartridge.

RECtech

optionally, specifies the method used to record data tracks on the tape surface for the VOLSER designated in the SERial parameter.

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

If this parameter is not specified, a default is chosen based on the value of the MEDia parameter. Table 8 shows default values used if RECtech is omitted.
