Issue the T-ONLINE command at the TCL prompt prior to attempting mvBase tape unit operation. The T-ONLINE command resets the selected tape media, checks that a tape media has been inserted, and rewinds the tape.
If the tape unit has not been attached, T-ONLINE completes these actions:
Attaches the selected tape unit to your process.
Resets the tape drive.
Determines that a tape has been inserted into the tape drive.
Rewinds the tape.
NOTE |
All mvBase tape units, whether physical or virtual, require the same sequence of MultiValue tape commands once they are configured for use with mvBase (e.g., T-ATT, T-ONLINE, T-REW, etc.). |
