Tape Label Question

2014-06-03 Thread Pfister, Nathan
I have a question about tape labels. On my DD for a tape, when I code the Label, I understand that the one parameter is the location/sequence on the tape...my question is do these have to be sequential? I.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Can I instead use 1, 2, 3, 4, 20 and still have it be recognized?

There's no reason I couldn't do that...But since the datasets that we are appending at the end are not changed that often, I think I may take the two tape approach. There isn't a need for me to re-back them up on a daily basis. Thanks everyone for the input. Thanks; Nathan Pfister Senior

Within the IODF for the system, you can specify whether a device comes up online or offline to a system. This is where those ADCD volumes would be specified as online. This website is a pretty good outline of how to change an IODF (albeit a little hard to follow):
