Recovering the Local VCAT

Since the Local VCAT contains transient data and is a repository for parmlib information, a backup is not required. If a Local VCAT is lost, you can customize and execute the HLQ.CCUUJCL(DEFVCAT) member to create the a new Local VCAT.

The CA Vtape Subsystem using this Local VCAT must be shut down during the recovery. Other CA Vtape Subsystems running on the same or different Logical Partitions can remain active.

After successfully defining and initializing the new Local VCAT, start the affected CA Vtape Subsystem.
