UNKNOWN
Tape device type is not recognized.

Whether a device defined through HCD is real or emulated is not determined until successful communication to the device has been made. Until successful communication has been made, the device type displayed will reflect the device type defined through HCD. Thus, for emulated devices, such as the 3590 Model E, the device type displayed will reflect the emulated device type defined through HCD rather than the real underlying device type (3590-E). Once successful communication to the device has been established, the device type displayed will reflect the real underlying device type.

Also, on levels of DFSMS/MVS that support the emulated device type defined through HCD, but do not support the real underlying device type (such as the 3590 Model E), the device type displayed will reflect the emulated device type defined through HCD.

libname

X'xxxx'
The hexadecimal value of the assigned category, which is not recognized by this system.
NONE
For devices in an automated tape library dataserver, no category is assigned to the cartridge loader and the cartridge loader is emptied. For devices which reside in a manual tape library, indexing is not to occur on this system; however, indexing may occur on other systems that own the volumes in the cartridge loader.
ANY
The cartridge loader may be loaded with any valid media type. This is only applicable for devices that reside in a manual tape library.
--N/A--
The tape drive does not reside in an automated tape library dataserver, or the library manager drive status is unknown.
h
Volume loaded in the cartridge loader:
Y
At least one volume has been loaded in the cartridge loader.
N
No volume has been loaded in the cartridge loader.
-
The tape drive does not reside in an automated tape library dataserver, or the library manager drive status is unknown.
mntvol
Volume serial number of the volume that is currently mounted on the tape drive. If there is no mounted volume, if this is not a library-resident drive, or if the library manager drive status is unknown, then this field is blank.
Additional information may appear containing one or more of the following messages:
  • Starting device number is not a tape device.
  • Number of tape devices requested exceeds 2048; 2048 devices displayed.
  • Number of tape devices requested exceeds the number available.
