Explanation: ALTERNATEVOLUME and NOALTERNATEVOLUME
are mutually exclusive optional subparameters used with LIST TAPETABLEOFCONTENTS
when volser is not specified.
- ALTERNATEVOLUME
- lists only those tape volumes that are marked full or partially
full and that have alternate tape volumes. This list provides you
with the capability to identify the full or partially full backup
and migration tape volumes that have alternate tapes. In a duplex
tape environment, you want to keep those alternate tapes in the library
because they can be extended. In a nonduplex tape environment, you
may want to EJECT those alternate tapes from the library or initially
not put them in the library.
- NOALTERNATEVOLUME
- lists only those tape volumes that are marked full or partially
full and have neither alternate tape volumes nor DISASTERALTERNATEVOLUMES.
Defaults: None.
