DYNCAT Commands
SCRPOOL Command
Use the SCRPOOL command to define scratch tapes in the CA Dynam Catalog
without initializing the tapes. Characteristics of existing SCRATCH volumes
may also be modified by the SCRPOOL command.
The format of the command is shown below.
SCRPOOL VOLser=(xxxxxx,xxxxxx,...,xxxxxx)
[ CLean= {nnn|YES } ]
[ DENsity= {cccc|NO } ]
[ FIRSTVOL=nnnnn ]
[ LASTVOL=nnnnn ]
[ LENgth= {XS|S|MS|M|ML|L|NO } ]
[ OWner=cc ]
[ VIRTape={NO|VTAPE|FTAPE} ]
[ VTAPFILE='location' ]
[ VTAPLOC='filename' ]
VOLser=
Required parameter. Specifies the volume serial numbers to be added to the
Catalog or modified. Valid entries are 1- to 6-character volume serial numbers
enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.
A maximum of 10 volumes may be added/modified per SCRPOOL statement.
CLean=
Optional parameter. Specifies the maximum number of tape errors to be
allowed for this volume before CA Dynam/T flags it to be cleaned. This is a
cumulative total that is retained in the Catalog until the tape is reinitialized.
Valid entries are:
