TAPEVOLS Record-Tape Level Protection

This record defines the tape volumes where CA ACF2 for VM provides volume‑level protection.

Fields

VOLMASK(volmask1,...,volmask255)

Specifies a maximum of 255 volume serial masks, up to six characters each. Standard CA ACF2 for VM masking conventions are supported. The default of this record is null (no volume level protection).

You must specify at least one volser if you want CA ACF2 for VM volume‑level protection. You can specify up to 255 VOLMASKs. When you define a volume in the TAPEVOLS record, CA ACF2 for VM generates a pseudo data set name of @volser.VOLUME to validate an access request to that volume. However, if you specify the VOLRULE field in the RULEOPTS VMO record, the pseudo data set name is generated as VOLUME.@volser.

SHOW Subcommand

The SHOW STATE subcommand displays the volume serial number of all volumes specified in the TAPEVOLS VMO record.
