Re: Physical Tape Ejection - RMM
Thank you for the information. While requesting for a eject a tape in use will report us the same ? I mean will it stall our request when a tape in use .

Re: Physical Tape Ejection - RMM
I checked with the RMM service team and they had indicated that clients will typically generate the eject commands after the DSTORE HSKP has run. Here's some additional information from one of the RMM manuals if the volumes are being system-managed in an IBM tape library ... DFSMSrmm does not automatically eject volumes from a system-managed tape library as part of inventory management processing. To request that a volume is ejected from a system-managed tape library, use the DFSMSrmm Change Volume Details panel to change the location for a volume residing in a system-managed library or use the RMM CHANGEVOLUME subcommand to change the location or issue an eject request. Figure 1 shows how to use the CHANGEVOLUME subcommand to change a volume's location to its shelf location. The change to the SHELF causes the volume to be ejected from a system-managed tape library. Figure 1. Ejecting a volume from a system-managed library RMM CHANGEVOLUME volser LOCATION(SHELF) https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.idarm00/manejt.htm They had also suggested that you can open a Q PMR (Case) and they can verify what you may have setup to eject the tape volumes and answer any additional questions that you have.

Physical Tape Ejection - RMM
Hello, I must confess that i am ignorant on tape management and trying to understand it. One of our physical tape didn't eject automatically after the job ended . As per RMM it shows the status as VRS. The tape dataset created by the Batch is not running anywhere in the LPAR. Is it safe to issue eject from RMM ? how do we know if particular tape is free and not being used? Any pointers are much appreciated Jake -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
