Automated tape libraries z/OS DFSMSrmm Implementation and Customization Guide SC23-6874-00 |
|
An automated tape library is a hardware device that automates the retrieval, storage, and control of tape cartridges (physical or virtual). Refer to z/OS DFSMS OAM Planning, Installation, and Storage Administration Guide for Tape Libraries, SC23-6867 for information on the automated, virtual, and manual tape libraries supported through system-managed tape and DFSMSrmm. DFSMSrmm can automatically replenish the scratch volumes in an automated tape library when the supply of volumes becomes low. See Replenishing scratch volumes in a system-managed library for information about how DFSMSrmm reclaims volumes that are eligible for returning to scratch. DFSMSrmm provides a cartridge entry installation exit that you
can use to help partition volumes in one or more system-managed tape
libraries across multiple systems. Use the installation exit for support
for sharing between z/OS and other systems and also for partitioning
between z/OS systems and SMS complexes. When using the cartridge
entry installation exit, consider these factors.
