Use this command to continuously load all the tapes in a tape library
category one after the other to a specified tape device using the tape library
dataserver. After the first tape is rewound and unloaded, the tape
library dataserver automatically loads the next tape in the tape library
category. This process is continued until there are no more tapes in
the tape library category.
Requirements and Restrictions
None.
Format
- DEV-cuu
- is the 3- to 4-digit hexadecimal address of a tape device that is attached
to the tape library dataserver.
- CAT-catg
- is a 4-digit hexadecimal tape library category from
X'0000'-X'FFFF'. See Tape Library Categories for a description of the different
tape library categories.
- SEquence
- loads the tapes in the order that they were added to the tape library
category.
- Note:
- This parameter is valid only if the specified tape library category is not
also being loaded to another tape device.
- NOSEquence
- loads the tapes in the order that is most efficient for the tape library
dataserver.
Additional Information
- Remember that a tape is automatically removed from its current tape
category when you mount or unload that tape. Therefore, if a tape in
the specified tape library category is mounted on or unloaded from another
tape device, it is automatically removed from that tape library category at
that time and will not be loaded on the specified tape device. This
strategy allows you to continuously load a tape library category using one or
more tape devices.
- If the tape library dataserver is continuously loading the tapes in a tape
library category, it preloads the tapes to the automatic cartridge loader
(ACL) if the ACL is installed and a tape is currently loaded in the tape
device. Otherwise, the tape library dataserver loads the tapes directly
to the tape device when the tape device is available.
Examples
In the following example, the tape library dataserver loaded the first tape
in the X'1000' tape library category to the specified tape
device. After this tape is rewound and unloaded, the tape library
dataserver will automatically load the next tape in the tape library
category.
