3. A drive name, as in drive /dev/rmt/tps0d6nrnsv or /DRIVE=MUA0: This refers to a named drive, as named in the client configuration file.
4. A tape name, as in mytape This refers to the location currently holding the tape named mytape
5. By default -- i.e. not specifying a location. The drive, port, or slot location required for the command will default to your default drive or slot, except where specified differently in the descriptions of the various commands.
