Parameter Description

The following provides a description of each parameter:

name

Specifies the drives whose status to display. CA VM:Tape draws the display from the list of drives in the STAM parameter file. The variable name specifies the global name of one of the drives listed in the file; CA VM:Tape displays the status of that drive and all subsequent drives on the list. You can use an asterisk for name to start the display with the first drive listed in the file.

{ number | AVL [ sysid ] | MTP [ sysid ] }

Limits the display of drive statuses specified by name.

The variable number limits the status display to number drives, beginning with the first drive specified by name. CA VM:Tape draws the value for number from the STAM parameter file unless it has been temporarily overridden by a STAM SETP DUCOUNT command.

AVL limits the status display to those drives whose status indicates they are available to be allocated.

MTP limits the status display to those drives whose status indicates that they have been allocated and are waiting for a tape to be mounted.

By default, the status display includes the specified drives for all systems in the STAM complex. You can use sysid with AVL or MTP to further limit the display to show the specified drives for one system only. The variable sysid is the STAM ID of the system. (The STAM parameter file or a STAM SETP DURLSE command may specify that the display should not include systems whose tape drives have been released.)
