DFSMS Management Class

You do not have to define or assign a management class to CA Vtape data sets. You do not have to back up or migrate the data sets. CA Vtape manages the data set lifecycle.

Alternately, you can define and assign a do-nothing management class to the LDSs. A do nothing management class has the following properties:

• EXPIRE AFTER DAYS NON-USAGE set to NOLIMIT
• EXPIRE AFTER DATE/DAYS set to NOLIMIT
• CMD/AUTO MIGRATE set to NONE
• ADM/USER BACKUP set to NONE
• AUTO BACKUP set to NO
