StorageTek Host Software Component 6 User Manual

1st ed., 6/30/04 - 312579601

Scratch Update utilities provide three basic functions: 

• SCRAtch utility — allows you to scratch a volume, a list of volumes, or a range of 

volumes

• UNSCratch utility — allows you to unscratch a volume, a list of volumes, or a range 

of volumes. The entire scratch list in the library control data set can be deleted by 
using the UNSCratch utility. 

• REPLace utility — allows you to clear the entire scratch list and then add a volume, 

a list of volumes, or a range of volumes to the scratch list(s) in the library control 
data set. When using the Replace utility, additions to the scratch list(s) are made 
after an initial clearing of the scratch list(s). 

StorageTek customers are responsible for creating HSC scratch utility statements to 
synchronize TMS and HSC scratch population definitions.
