Ejecting Cartridges from an ACL BIM-EPIC ACL Support
5-58 BIM-EPIC Installation and System Guide
The following EP commands are used in the BIM-EPIC support process for IBM ACLs:
Command Action
EP ACL EJECT Causes ejection from the ACL of all cartridges that have
been written to the ACL Inventory Management Library by
the TSIDVLT program. Can be used in place of the
TSIDUTL ACLEJECT control statement. Only valid for
IBM, Memorex, and STK ACLs.
EP ACL EJECT
VAULT=n
As described in EP ACL EJECT above, TSIDVLT may have
placed volser's of cartridges to be ejected from an ACL into
the ACL Inventory Management Library. These volser's may
be from different vaults. This command will eject only those
cartridges that are in VAULT "n".
EP ACL EJECT volser Causes the ejection from the ACL of the cartridge whose
serial number is specified in volser. Only valid for IBM,
Memorex, and STK ACLs.
EP ACL PROCESS Reads the list of volume serial numbers and status change
requests from the VSE sublibrary designated for BIM-EPIC
ACL support in the ACLLIB configuration option and posts
the new status to the ACL.
EP ACL SYNC For each IBM ACL in an installation, obtains an inventory of
all cartridges in an IBM ACL and does steps 1 through 3.
All steps are completed for one IBM ACL before beginning
the next IBM ACL. Only valid for IBM ACLs.
1. Obtains an inventory of all cartridges in the ACL.
2. Checks each ACL volume to see if it is in the DSN
Catalog.
Result— If the ACL volume is not in the DSN and the
ACLAUTI configuration option is “Y", the tape is initialized
with a VOL and HDR records and the serial number is added
to the DSN.
Result— If the ACL volume is not in the DSN Catalog and
the ACLAUTI configuration option is “N", no action is
taken.
3. If the ACL volume is in the DSN Catalog, its ACL status
is compared with its status in the DSN Catalog.
Result— If the ACL status is not the same as the DSN
Catalog status, the ACL status is set to be the same as
the DSN Catalog status.
EP ACL SYNC aclname Does the processing described above for a single IBM ACL.
aclname is the name of the IBM ACL to be processed.
