REELlibrarian: Tape Support for UNIX

Jan 04 1999 - REELlibrarian is client/server software package that allows people to use a tape drive that is physically connected to a remote machine as if it were actually connected to the machine that they are using. A REELlibrarian client has been installed on the new borg. (Not UICVM or icarus.) REELlibrarian supports three types of digital computer tapes cartridges, 4mm DAT, 8mm XBYTE, and IBM 3480; and the following types of tape formats/labeling: ANSI (default) and ANSI2 (ANSI without HDR2 labels), IBM (used when sharing tapes with MVS systems) and IBM2 (IBM without HDR2 labels), TAR and CPIO (generic formats usable by most utilities), RAW (for storing raw partitions).

For more information, see the UIC REELlibrarian Web page.

VM Archive Now Recall Only

Jan 04 1999 - In preparation for the removal of CMS during 1999, we have restricted VM:Archiver on CMS from accepting new files Your existing CMS archives are still available in the usual way for now, using the vmarch recall command.

We are investigating various options for dealing the the existing CMS archives in the long run, but we feel there is no sense in expanding the problem by adding new files to the archives. In any case, please do not attempt to recall all your archived files at once. We already know from experience that that causes major problems.

If you try to archive a file on CMS, for example, the file getdisk index a, you will receive the following messages:
 vmarch archive file getdisk index a
  12:19:11  * MSG FROM VMARCH  :   SORRY -- ONLY FILE RECALLS ALLOWED AS
  OF 1999-01-04.
 VMACMD0102E Command user exit rejected your authority to issue command.
 Ready(00024); T=0.05/0.08 12:19:11
If you have SET MSG OFF, you will get only the second message.
If you try archiving files using the menu mode of the vmarch command, the messages will appear in reverse order, on separate screens
