Vaulting with AND Conditions

To hold a tape in multiple locations or the same location using AND conditions, the logic can be specified as:

DSN=ABC
V=VLT1,C=3
V=VLT1,EXP

With this pattern, VMS holds the volume in VLT1 until it expires (C=EXP), and retains it in VLT1 for three cycles (C=3). Both criterion must be met for VMS to move the volume to the next location. In the example above, the volume is returned to the library from VLT1.

Note: Both AND and OR processing logic can be used in the same pattern:

DSN=ABC
V=LIB,C=1
V=VLT1,C=3,CR=40
V=VLT1,EXP
