Before you begin: An installation can define its own security labels. You can use security labels to associate a specific security level with a set of (zero or more) security categories. Consider using security labels if you do not want to mix data for different classified projects. Security labels allow you to segregate data of specific classifications on specific sets of volumes. You can assign an appropriate storage group dedicated to data of that classification.

Perform the following steps to help you decide whether and how to use security labels in ACS routines:

1. Decide whether you want to segregate data of specific classifications on specific sets of volumes.

2. Create a list of security label names that you can use to segregate groups of data.

3. Decide which storage groups should use security labels.

4. Decide which storage group ACS routines to update with the &SECLABL read-only variable.

Now you are ready to implement security labels in ACS routines.
