Here is a list of the known categories. It is likely that 0080 has been set by another process, like a TSM server.
Categories are in HEX, so 0080 would be "50" decimal. Do you have a TSM server private or scratch category set to 50? ____________________________________ The tape category is in the second category. Here is a list of the known categories: FF00 Insert Set when a tape volume is added to the inventory. The 3494 reads the external label on the volume, creates an inventory entry for the volume, and assigns the volume to this category. When one or more volumes are assigned to this category, the attached hosts are notified. When logical volumes are inserted via the operator panel, they are also added to this category FF10 Convenience eject Set when the Library Manager accepts an eject request. The volume becomes eject pending, and the 3494 queues the volume to be moved to the Convenience Input Output Station. When the cartridge accessor delivers the volume to the Convenience Input Output Station, it is deleted from the inventory. FFFA Manually ejected Assigned to this category if the cartridge that was in the inventory is not found. FFFB Manual Delete Category assigned to tapes to permanently remove them from the library's inventory. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Huebner Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 3:01 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: IBM3494 Question I know this is a little off subject, but does anyone have a list of 3494 categories? We have a bunch of tapes that are category 0080 and we are not sure why. Andy Huebner This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
