It's not something which can be queried from the TSM high-level
commands.
Use a select statement to see them:
Select volume_name, mediatype from libvolumes

When you do a q libv in a Windows 5.2.4.5, the media type column does
not appear.

TSM5 added the Media Type column to the output of the Query LIBVolume
command. The Admin Ref manual was updated to explain the new column as
merely "The type of media". That's a sad example of lazy documenting,
which fails to serve the customer base in providing some insight as to
the origin of the data, its type (which turns out to be a 3-digit code
rather than anything humanly perceptible), and when it will be populated
(which seems to be only when a "SCSI" library is in use, where TSM is
intimate with library elements).
I've written to the Publications people about this documentation issue,
but in addition would like to compile a list of media type 3- digit
codes and the actual media they represent (e.g., DLT IV, SDLT I, LTO 3),
which I will add to the ADSM QuickFacts, to assist everyone. So, if your
Query LIBVolume output reports digits in this column, I'd appreciate
getting the numbers and descriptive media
types, which you should email directly to me: rbs AT bu DOT edu
thanks, Richard Sims
