9.1.7.1 Emulated tape devices
You manage emulated tape devices using the Tape devices tab of the SU /390 or SU x86,
see the example below for an SU x86:
The SE Manager supports the configuration of emulated tape devices. Emulation enables
BS2000 tapes to be presented either as files in the Linux file system (EMFILEs) or as files
on CD or DVD (CDROM files). This permits data exchange between BS2000 systems by
means of compatible EMFILEs or CDROM files. With the help of the EMFILEs/CDROM
files, you can, for example, read in BS2000 correction packages from CD or DVD or transfer
files containing diagnostic data by means of CD, DVD or LAN. Another possible application
is exporting BS2000 data temporarily to the Linux file system.
It is also possible to write CDROM files directly to a CD/DVD medium on the SU x86's
integrated DVD burner. For the SU /390 this can be done on the MU's integrated DVD
burner.
Data CDs and DVDs written in ISO9660 or UDF format and containing precisely one file
with the name emfile are supported.
I You can replace EMFILEs/CDROM files with EMFILEs/CDROM files of other
servers (SQ servers). The data formats of the EMFILEs/CDROM files on these
servers are compatible.
You can upload and download EMFILEs, and remove emulated tape files.
Download
When you initiate a download, the tape device in BS2000 should not be attached, i.e. if
necessary a DETACH command should be issued first.
Ê Click the Download icon by the required tape device, enter the path and file names in
the system-specific Explorer window and save the file.
