CA VM:Tape displays mount requests on the operator's console. The 3480, 3490, 3490E, 3590, 3590E, 9840, or 9940 tape drives display additional messages relating to mount requests.
For mount requests, the tape drives display an eight-character request message. Such messages begin with M and end with either S for standard label tapes or N for non-labeled tapes. If a mount request specifies a particular tape, the message indicates the tape's volser (MvolserN or MvolserS). If a mount request specifies a scratch tape, the message indicates that (MSCRTCHN or MSCRTCHS). If scratch pools are defined, the messages for a scratch mount request alternate with a message that lists the first eight characters of the name of the scratch pool that was requested on the mount request or selected by CA VM:Tape.
When CA VM:Tape has mounted a tape, the message lists the tape's volser (volserS or volserN).
If you or the user cancels a request, the message displays an asterisk.
CA VM:Tape may ask you to dismount a tape because it was mounted incorrectly or because processing has completed for the current volume in a multivolume chain. If CA VM:Tape knows the volser of the tape to dismount, the message begins with D and indicates the tape's volser (Dvolser). If CA VM:Tape does not know the volser of the tape to dismount, the message appears as D. The dismount message alternates with the mount message for the tape.
