Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System
(SNDA)
•
This example of the ALTER command changes the value of the compression
attribute for the tape drive (5257/5257ACL) $TAPE0 to OFF and then issues the
SCF INFO command to make sure that the change has taken place:
->ALTER TAPE $TAPE0, COMPRESSION OFF
->INFO TAPE $TAPE0
•
This example changes tape drive $TAPE1 so that its tape process runs only at a low
IOP (input/output process) and then checks to make sure that the change has taken
place:
->ALTER TAPE $TAPE1, HIGHPIN OFF
->INFO TAPE $TAPE1, DETAIL
•
This example specifies that a maximum of 32 concurrent files have opened for the
tape drive $TAPE 1:
->ALTER TAPE $TAPE1, NUMOPENERS 32
For more information on the ALTER and INFO commands, see the SCF Reference
Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System (SNDA)
Use the SCF DELETE TAPE command to delete a tape drive from the system
configuration database.
Before issuing the DELETE command, use the SCF STATUS command to verify that
the tape drive is in the stopped state. For example:
->STATUS TAPE $TAPE0
If the STATUS command shows that the tape drive is not in the state, use the SCF STOP
command to place the tape drive in the state. For example:
->STOP TAPE $TAPE0
This example removes tape drive $TAPE0 from the system configuration:
->DELETE TAPE $TAPE0
Use the INFO command to verify that the tape drive has been removed from the system:
->INFO $TAPE0*
For more information on the STATUS, DELETE, and INFO commands, see the SCF
Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
