126 VM/HSC 6.0 System Programmer’s Guide
1st ed., 6/30/04 - 312579601
This parameter is ignored for an existing data set if the media characteristics are
determined by the volume.
If this parameter is not specified, a default is chosen based on the value of the
RECtech parameter. Table 5 shows default values used if MEDia is omitted.
To avoid problems, StorageTek recommends that all TAPEREQ statements specify
MEDia and RECtech consistently. Make sure to include either one or both parameters on
each statement. If both media type and recording technique are omitted, all available
devices are eligible for allocation.
Valid media types are:
LONGItud
indicates any Standard, ECART, or ZCART cartridge.
Standard
indicates a standard length, 3480 cartridge. It can be read on any longitudinal
drives (4480, 4490, 9490, or 9490EE). Data can be written in 36-track mode on
4490, 9490, or 9490EE transports but cannot be read on an 18-track (4480)
drive. Synonyms for this type of cartridge include:
• CST
•MEDIA1
• STD
•1
• 3480.
ECART
indicates a 3490E, extended capacity cartridge. It can be used only on a
36-track drive (4490, 9490, or 9490EE). Synonyms include:
