The STORE command syntax for backups to labeled tapes is identical to
that for unlabeled tapes. However, you must use a FILE equation to
request that the STORE command write to a labeled volume. For example,
when preparing for a backup to a volume set labeled VOL25, to be
mounted on logical device 7, the following file equation could be entered:
If the previously labeled volume set has not been mounted prior to the backup,
the system sends you a message requesting the first volume of the set.
For example:
?23:20/#S5/50/Mount volume VOL25 (ANS)
After you mount the correct volume and it has been recognized by automatic
volume recognition (AVR), you will see a message similar to the following:
23:23/15/Vol VOL25 (ANS) mounted on LDEV# 7
After this volume has been successfully written to, STORE requests
that the next reel of the set be mounted. For example:
?23:34/#S5/50/MOUNT REEL 2 OF VOLSET VOL25 ON LDEV 7
NOTE: AVR messages for all reels beyond the first reel are
issued by STORE. These messages cannot be recalled.
If you plan to create labeled volumes using backups that are not
labeled, the preceding procedure differs slightly. Use the FILE
equation and STORE command as you would with a labeled volume. For
example:
