Chapter 4. Utility Functions 311
1st ed., 6/30/04 - 312579601
Note: The NNLBDRV parameter has no effect in the operation of the VM/HSC. The
utility may still be used to set this parameter for MVS systems sharing this CDS.
(esoteric)
specifies a 1-to 8-character esoteric. If the value is omitted, this means that
there are no nonlibrary drives installed.
FORHOST
specifies that the operation is being restricted to a specific host. Only the specified
hosts’ nonlibrary drive esoteric is to be set. If omitted, the nonlibrary esoterics for all
hosts are to be changed.
(host-id)
specifies the 1- to 8-character host ID of the host to which the operation is
restricted.
SET Scratch Label Type
SCRLABL
specifies the scratch label type is to be set. To add to the scratch pool, the
REPLaceall function is run before the Scratch Update utility. Otherwise, the scratch
update utility should be run to update the scratch pools after using this function.
(SL)
specifies that nonspecific requests for standard-labeled tapes are to be
automated.
(AL)
specifies that nonspecific requests for ANSI-labeled tapes are to be automated.
(NL)
specifies that nonspecific requests for nonlabeled tapes are to be automated.
(NSL)
specifies that nonspecific requests for nonstandard labeled tapes are to be
automated.
SET Device Numbers for Drives
SLIDRIVS
specifies that the device numbers for the drives in a particular panel are being
changed or added. The change does not take effect until the affected HSC(s) is
recycled. Refer to “Running SET SLIDRIVS With the HSC Active” on page 313 for
more information.
Caution: StorageTek recommends you bring the HSC down on all hosts before
specifying this parameter, and recycle the HSC after every SET SLIDRIVS
operation. Table 17 on page 313 describes some instances where the HSC can remain
active, however, unpredictable results can occur if the HSC is not terminated.
