CA1_TMC_AUDIT_PLACEMENT

Description

This check is to ensure that the CA 1 TMC and Audit data sets are placed on different volumes.

Best Practice

The Audit data set is used to recover the TMC in the case that the TMC is damaged, corrupted, or otherwise unavailable. Therefore, it should be placed on a different volume than the TMC to avoid losing the primary tape catalog and one of the files used to recover it at the same time. The default interval for this check is to run once at startup and the exception interval is every 24 hours.
