Mounting Tapes
Output
BIM-EPIC controls which tapes can be used for output. It checks the volume serial number of
every tape processed. If the tape mounted is controlled, its volume serial number is checked
with its corresponding DSN Catalog entry to ensure that it is in scratch status before it can be
used as output.
If the tape is uncontrolled, BIM-EPIC checks to see if the tape's volume serial number exists
in the DSN Catalog. If it does not yet exist, the tape is cataloged and used automatically. If
the volume serial number already exists in the catalog, BIM-EPIC issues a message to allow
the operator to enter a new volume serial number. You do not have to pre-initialize all your
tapes to bring them under BIM-EPIC’s control.
The configuration option UNCTAP affects uncontrolled tape handling.
