ZTPLF UNLOAD-Unload a Tape

Use this command to unload tapes from the specified tape device using the tape library dataserver. You can unload the current tape or all the tapes in a tape library category.

Requirements and Restrictions

If the tape that is currently loaded in the tape device is mounted, enter the ZTOFF command to dismount the tape before you enter this command.

Format




DEV-cuu
is the 3- to 4-digit hexadecimal address of a tape device that is attached to the tape library dataserver.

NOALL
unloads the current tape from the specified tape device.
Note:
If you previously entered the ZTPLF FILL command to continuously load the tape library category in the tape device, this parameter unloads the current tape from the tape device and then automatically loads the next tape in the tape library category.

ALL
unloads the current tape from the specified tape device and cancels the continuous load of the other tapes in that tape library category.
Note:
If you try to unload a tape library category without first dismounting the tape that is currently loaded in the tape device, the tape library dataserver cancels the continuous load of the tapes in that tape library category but does not unload the tape that is currently loaded in the tape device.

Additional Information

None.

Examples

In the following example, the tape that is currently loaded in the specified tape device is unloaded.

|User:   ZTPLF UNLOAD DEV-F30                                                    |
|                                                                                |

In the following example, the tape library category that is being continuously loaded in the specified tape device is unloaded. That is, the current tape is unloaded and the continuous load of the other tapes in the tape library category is canceled.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|User:   ZTPLF UNLOAD DEV-F30 ALL                                                |
|                                                                                |
|System: CORD0215I 08.13.11 TPLF HPN FILL CAT 1000 DELETED FROM 0F30             |
|                                      ALL VOLUMES REMOVED FROM ACL              |
