STK2P, STK2W
indicates a T9940 cartridge. The media indicator in the external label is encoded
with the cartridge type (P or W).
Note: STK2P or STK2W can be abbreviated to P or W, respectively.
Types of T9940 cartridges, along with their associated media capacities are:
• STK2P — 60GB (T9940A) or 200GB (T9940B)
• STK2W — cleaning cartridge.
RECtech
optionally, specifies the method used to record data tracks on the tape surface for the
VOLSER designated in the SERial parameter.
Note: The SL8500 library supports only the T9x40 (9840/T9840B/T9840C
and T9940A/T9940B) media types.
If this parameter is not specified, a default is chosen based on the value of the MEDia
parameter. Table 8 shows default values used if RECtech is omitted.
If both media type and recording technique are omitted, all available cartridges are
eligible for allocation.
Valid recording techniques are:
LONGItud
indicates any device that uses longitudinal recording.
18track
indicates a 4480 transport.
36track
indicates a 4490, 9490, or 9490EE transport (any device that records in 36-track
mode).
36Atrack
indicates a 4490 (Silverton) transport.
