The following provides a description of each parameter for mounting a scratch tape:
Indicates that CA VM:Tape is to mount a scratch tape. You can also specify the virtual address at which to attach the tape. The default for vaddr is 181. For more information, see Virtual Address Restrictions.
Specifies the primary data set name to create for the scratch tape. For more information about the values for dsname, see Specifying Data Set Names. You can specify a question mark for dsname to have CA VM:Tape prompt you for the data set name.
Note: If you do not specify a data set name, other users cannot later mount the tape unless they have ANYTAPE authorization.
Specifies the density, media type, and recording format for the tape. For more information about these options, see Specifying Tape Density, Media Type, and Recording Format.
Specifies when the tape is to expire. For more information about the authorizations for these options, see Setting Expiration Dates for Tapes.
[Authorization: MOUNTFOR]
Instructs CA VM:Tape to mount the tape and attach the tape drive to the specified user ID instead of to your user ID. CA VM:Tape makes userid the tape's owner.
Specifies the label processing to use for the tape. For more information about these options, see Specifying Tape Label Processing.
Specifies the pool from which to select the scratch tape. Your system administrator can tell you which pools are available to you and the density and media type of the tapes the pools contain. By default, CA VM:Tape selects a general scratch tape.
[Authorization: SAVEFOR]
Indicates whether CA VM:Tape is to make you the owner of the tape (SAVE), make userid the owner of the tape (SAVEFOR userid), or return the tape to the scratch pool when it is detached (WORK).
SAVEFOR userid is useful when a CMS batch virtual machine is creating the tape.
Specifies that CA VM:Tape is to stack the volser and data set name (if specified) for the tape in the program stack upon completion of the mount. The format of the data is * volser dsn. CA VM:Tape can stack the data in first in, first out (FIFO) or last in, first out (LIFO) order. This option is not valid when you use CP SMSG to issue the MOUNT command.
Specifies a group of drives from which to select the drive on which to mount the tape, or specifies a particular drive. For more information about authorizations for these options, see LOCation location Option.
Specifies a value for the indicated site-defined field for this tape. Your system administrator determines what fields are defined and the values that they can contain, and can restrict your ability to change this field.
Assigns a priority to the mount request on the device wait queue. Top priority is 0; the lowest is 99. CA VM:Tape places your request immediately behind other requests of equal or higher priority. Ask your system administrator which priorities you are authorized to assign.
Specifies whether to place the mount request on a device wait queue (QUEUE) or cancel the request (NOQUEUE) if no drives are immediately available. If you use the QUEUE option, you can use the PRIORITY number option to assign a priority to the mount request on the queue.
Specifies whether CA VM:Tape is to mount the tape in read-only mode (READ or NORING) or in write mode (WRITE or RING). READ is the default for all mounts of saved tapes and specific scratch tapes. WRITE is the default for all general scratch tape mounts
Specifies whether the tape being mounted requires Setup facility processing. If you specify SETUP, CA VM:Tape sends a setup request to the remote setup operator and does not generate a mount request until that operator releases the tape. If you specify NOSETUP, CA VM:Tape processes the mount request as soon as possible.
Your system administrator sets the default for this option. If your system administrator has configured CA VM:Tape so that all tape mounts go through setup processing, CA VM:Tape ignores these options.
Indicates whether the mount request is to complete as soon as the CA VM:Tape service virtual machine receives the mount request (NOWAIT) or is to not complete until the requested tape is mounted and CA VM:Tape attaches the drive to your virtual machine (WAIT). Your system administrator sets the default for this option.
Note: If you use the WAIT option, CA VM:Tape issues a TAPE MODESET command with the appropriate density. If you do not use the WAIT option, CA VM:Tape selects a tape drive that can support the requested tape; you must issue the TAPE MODESET command to set the density.
