Subpooling

Subpooling is not required, but is supported in CA Vtape. If you defined subpools in your Tape Management System for the workloads to move to CA Vtape, duplicate those subpool definitions in the subpool definitions in the system Parmlib.

Note: Multiple pool definitions are not supported under JES3. You can define only one volume pool under JES3.

You can define up to eight subpools. If the workloads to move to CA Vtape currently use more than eight subpools, consolidate your Tape Management System subpool definitions. Consolidation reduces the subpool number to eight or less. Consult your Tape Management System manuals to determine how to modify your subpool definitions.

Note: For more information about defining subpools in the system Parmlib, see the chapter "The Parameter Library (PARMLIB)."
