You can protect DFSMShsm-managed tapes by:

• Having RACF® installed and activated
• Using one of the following options:
  • Defining to RACF the tapes you want to protect by:
    • Defining the RACF TAPEVOL resource class in the RACF descriptor table (CDT).
    • Specifying the SETSYS TAPESECURITY(RACF|RACFINCLUDE) command.

    Tip: If you have not defined RACF tape volume sets for DFSMShsm, but you want RACF to protect all the tapes through a RACF generic profile, specify the SETSYS TAPESECURITY(RACF|RACFINCLUDE) command.

  • Use RACF DATASET class protection using either of the following options:
    • Using RACF SETROPTS TAPEDSN.
    • DEVSUPxx TAPEAUTHDSN=YES
