Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Reference

ENABLE3590LIBRARY

Supports the use of IBM 3590 tape drives with IBM 349x tape libraries.

Notes:

  1. Before enabling 3590 support for the Tivoli Storage Manager server, delete the existing library definition and recreate it by using a new set of category codes that do not conflict with other systems or applications.

  2. When you use this option, you must specify the volume type when you want to check in volumes to a 349x library. Users with both 3490 and 3590 drives must specify DEVTYPE=3590 for a 3590 volume type.

Syntax

>>-ENABLE3590LIBRary----+-YES-+--------------------------------><
                        '-NO--'
 

Parameters

YES
Specifies that 3590 support is enabled.

The scratch category for the IBM 3590 drives is 402. If a scratch category is not specified in the DEFINE LIBRARY command, it defaults to 301 for IBM 3490 drives and 302 for IBM 3590 drives.

The server uses a scratch category that is one greater than the scratch category specified in the DEFINE LIBRARY command. For example, a library is defined with the following command:

define library 3494lib libtype=349X device=/dev/lmcp0 -
  scratchcategory=401

NO
Specifies that 3590 support is disabled.

Examples
