Description
If the tape unit has not been attached, the t-rew command completes these actions:
- Attaches the selected tape unit to your process.
- Resets the tape drive.
- Checks that a tape has been inserted into the tape drive.
- In the case of a VTF, checks that the destination directory/file already exists.
- Rewinds the tape.
Use the t-rew command when you want to not only attach the unit to the process, but reset and rewind a physical tape. It can also be used to ensure that the attaching procedure has been completed successfully.
