gtpg1m12 | General Information |
The TPF 4.1 system provides:
- Automatic tape mounting
- System detection of lost tape interrupts and stalled tape module
queues.
Also, beginning in the TPF 4.1 system, the TPF system supports
only 3480 tape and tape control devices.
Your installation can do the following without operator intervention:
- Mount alternate tapes on write-enabled devices.
- Convert alternate tapes to active tapes for tape macro processing.
- Convert alternate tapes to standby tapes for tape switching.
Automatically mounting alternate tapes improves tape switching during the dump
process, enabling your installation to minimize the number of tape devices
used by a multiple volume tape dump.
The TPF system detects and reports long or lost tape
interrupts and stalled module queue conditions.
