ROSs/OSS Media – DataWare/ROSs/OSS Storage Subsystem

The ROSs/OSS works in 3490 emulation. Its resources are treated like "3490" devices. The devices are referred to by device number. Each device defined to the IOA Archive Server can be stopped and restarted separately.

• To stop an OSS device, issue operator command

  F IOASMON,STOP MEDIA=media‑name,DEVICE=device‑number

  When a device stops, an appropriate message is displayed on the operator console.

• To start an OSS device, issue operator command

  F IOASMON,START MEDIA=media‑name,DEVICE=device‑number

  When a device is ready to process requests, an appropriate message is displayed on the operator console.

Before starting an OSS device, make sure that the device is online and ready in the system.
