Re: [ADSM-L] IBM3494 Question

Here is a list of the known categories. It is likely that 0080 has been
set by another process, like a TSM server.

Categories are in HEX, so 0080 would be "50" decimal. Do you have a TSM
server private or scratch category set to 50?


____________________________________
The tape category is in the second category. Here is a list of the known
categories:

FF00    Insert                  Set when a tape volume is added to the
inventory. The
                                3494 reads the external label on the
volume, creates
                                an inventory entry for the volume, and
assigns the
                                volume to this category. When one or
more volumes
                                are assigned to this category, the
attached hosts are
                                notified. When logical volumes are
inserted via the
                                operator panel, they are also added to
this category

FF10    Convenience eject       Set when the Library Manager accepts an
eject
                                request. The volume becomes eject
pending, and the
                                3494 queues the volume to be moved to
the
                                Convenience Input Output Station. When
the cartridge
                                accessor delivers the volume to the
Convenience
                                Input Output Station, it is deleted from
the inventory.

FFFA    Manually ejected        Assigned to this category if the
cartridge that was in
                                the inventory is not found.

FFFB    Manual Delete           Category assigned to tapes to
permanently remove them 
                                from the library's inventory.

I know this is a little off subject, but does anyone have a list of 3494
categories?  We have a bunch of tapes that are category 0080 and we are
not sure why.
