DRIVEACQUIRERETRY

If an IBM 349x library is shared among multiple applications, its drives may appear to be available to the server (through the use of a background polling process) when they are not. This option lets you specify how many times the server retries the acquisition of a drive in the library.

Syntax

>>-DRIVEACQuireretry----+-Forever-----------+------------------><
                        +-Never-------------+
                        '-number_of_retries-'
 

Parameters

Forever
The acquisition of a drive is retried until one is successfully acquired. This is the default.

Never
The server does not retry the acquisition of a drive and fails the operation.

number_of_retries
Specifies the maximum number of times, from 1 to 9999, that the server retries the acquisition of a drive.

Examples

Specify that the server should attempt no more than 10 times to acquire the drive:

driveacquireretry 10
