Masstor Systems Corporation's M860 device is sysgen'd as either a 3420 or a 3480 device. The M860, however, treats the cartridge as either the 3420 or 3480 tape device as it was sysgen'd. Just as native 3420 and 3480 devices require different unit names to prevent requests for conventional tapes to be mounted on a 3480 drive, the M860 also requires this separation.
Providing the unit name of the type of device you want to use is very straightforward when new tapes are being created. CA Disk needs to save this distinction, such that the restore, recover, or merge functions can dynamically request the proper type of device. If this is not done, CA Disk issues requests to mount M860 cartridges on either 3420 or 3480 tape drives!
