Stopping A Tape Device Using Scf - HP 9840 Operation Manual

Operating the 9840 Tape Drive

Stopping a Tape Device using SCF

Use the SCF STOP command to terminate access to a storage device in an orderly
manner. This means that the device isn't stopped until current activity ends. When the
STOP command finishes, configured devices are left in a STOPPED state, substate
DOWN. The devices remain in the system configuration database.
When the last path to a device is stopped, an implicit refresh operation is also
performed. This is a general cleanup operation so that the device will not have any
changed buffers or file control blocks outstanding.
STOP Command Syntax
The syntax for the STOP command is:
STOP [ /OUT file-spec/ ] [object-spec ]
