Using Labeled Tapes
Viewing a Tape Drive-Usage Request
To view outstanding tape drive-usage requests, enter:
> MEDIACOM STATUS TAPEMOUNT [[ \node.] message-number ]
[ , DETAIL ]
When you enter STATUS TAPEMOUNT without specifying a node or message
number, MEDIACOM displays a brief report of all outstanding mount requests on the
current default node. You can also specify the DETAIL option to receive a detailed
report about all mount requests or a message you specify. See the DSM/Tape Catalog
Operator Interface (MEDIACOM) Manual for more information.
MEDIACOM displays tape mount requests in the format:

nodedev
the name of the node where tname must be mounted; or the name of the tape drive
to use.

REJECT TAPEMOUNT.
Accepting a Tape Drive-Usage Request
To accept a tape drive-usage request, log on as a super-group user (255,n) and enter:
MC> ACCEPT TAPEMOUNT [ \node.] message-number
You also use the ACCEPT TAPEMOUNT command when a mounted tape cannot be
read. If it is appropriate to use such a tape, the ACCEPT TAPEMOUNT command gives
permission to use that tape as an unlabeled tape.
