You can use the QUERY MOUNT command to determine which tapes are mounted for the server's use. Use the DISMOUNT VOLUME or DISMOUNT DEVICE command to dismount them.
You can request information about the status of tapes that are mounted with the QUERY MOUNT command. For example, if you enter the following command, the volume name and device address of all mounted tapes is returned to you:
query mount
This command also returns information on whether the tape is in use or is idle.
If you want information about a mounted tape and you know the volume name of the tape, you can include the name on the command. For example, to get information on mounted tape dsm988, enter:
query mount dsm988
You can dismount tapes by using the DISMOUNT VOLUME command. For example, to dismount the tape volume named VOL001, enter:
dismount volume vol001
You can use the QUERY MOUNT command to determine the volume names of mounted volumes.
If you know the real address of the tape device on which the volume is mounted (for example, FE8), you can dismount the tape by dismounting the device:
dismount device fe8
