Tape librarians manage the tape inventory and the tape information in the TMC. Assuming they have been given the appropriate authorizations, tape librarians can use the ASSIGN, EDIT, LIST SCRATCH, and TAPEINIT commands, as well as the CHECKIN, CHECKOUT, and CLEAN utilities.
Note: For more information about creating tape librarian authorizations, see Authorization.
The tasks shown in the following table are those that are typically performed by a tape librarian.
Note: For more information about the commands, see the Command Reference Guide. For more information about the CLEAN, CHECKIN, and CHECKOUT utilities, see Utility Reference.
