The se-spec placeholder represents the number of a storage element in a tape library.
[se]n | none | vacant
where n is a number ranging from 1
to the maximum number of storage elements in the library.
Elements are referenced by their abbreviation (se
) followed by the number of the element, for example, se5
. When there is more than one element of a particular type, element numbering starts at 1. When there is only one element of a type, you can omit the number: se1
and se
both refer to the first and only storage element. If you omit the abbreviation, then a storage element is assumed. For example, se4
and 4
both refer to the fourth storage element.
Indicates no storage element.
Indicates any empty storage element. Specify vacant
only if the tape drive is known to be loaded.
