The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Many shops configure that device for "sequential" mode versus "random"
mode - we did. Random is the default and is used by shops that use TSM,
BRMS and other tape management stuff.
Anyway, in sequential mode:
- Slap tapes in
- Press Mode until you see "Start Seq"
- Press Select
Test:
- CHKTAP DEV(TAPxx) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) should display volid, eject tape,
load next tape automatically
- CHKTAP DEV(TAPxx) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) should display volid eject tape
Passes test? Repeat first group to load the tapes back up.
If your backup does not end with an *UNLOAD, connect in and do a quick
CHKTAP between backups. You can see which volume is loaded by doing the
CHKTAP ENDOPT(*LEAVE) or *REWIND instead of *UNLOAD.
