Additional Implementation Needs for the M860

CA Disk tapepools should be created that consist solely of M860 cartridges, and all cartridges within each tapepool must physically be within the same M860 unit.

If you have multiple M860 units and a unique unit name or unit address can be used to reference each of them, you should use DYN1 to map allocations to tapepools defined in one unit, DYN2 for the second, DYN3 for the third, and so on. DYN2 through DY20 works in exactly the same manner as described for DYN1, and together provide the ability to identify and access up to three different groups of devices with special allocation requirements.
