cartridges that are not in a VTS range of stacked volumes will be inserted for
native 3590 use.

5. J-type cartridges that are intended for native 3590 use must be moved into the

Insert category. The Volser ranges pushbutton allows validation of physical
stacked volume ranges to insure that native 3590 cartridges will not become
VTS stacked volumes

6. The Category Recovery section in “Appendix B. Virtual Tape Server

Import/Export Advanced Function” on page 307 provides instructions for
recovery from errors made when moving cartridges from the Unassigned
category.

Note: The Convenience Input⁄Output Station is used for Exported Stacked Volumes

to be Imported, VTS stacked volumes, and J-type 3590 native use volumes.
The task of moving volumes from the Unassigned category into the Import or
Insert categories can be simplified by scheduling insertion of different volume
types at different times.
