Listing Bin Tapes

Bin system users can use a special command, VMTBIN, to display a cross-reference of bin numbers and internal volsers. The VMTBIN command also provides an option to stack the bin number of a specific real volser for the end user. The bin number can then be used in a CA VM:Tape MOUNT request.

For example, to display the internal volser of the tape in bin BN0025, enter:

vmtape vmtbin list bn0025

CA VM:Tape responds by listing the bin number and the internal volser:

BN0025 KLN001

Note: For more information about the VMTBIN command, see the Command Reference Guide.
