DASD and Tape Resource Definitions

DASD and tapes provide storage for the files in a file transfer. CA NetMaster FTM manages these resources through the information in the DASD and tape resource definitions.

DASD and Tape Resource Templates

Templates are provided for defining DASD and tape resources in the knowledge base. The templates contain the following information to help you manage a DASD or tape resource:

• System command that displays the status of the DASD or tape resource.
• System messages that change the actual state of the resource. For messages that indicate a problem, you might want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application).
