Determining Tape Storage Requirements

CA TLMS automatically tracks tape data sets through your data center, notifying you when to scratch them or move them to a storage location. Therefore, before you can start using CA TLMS, you must establish:

• The data set retention period requirements
• What action is to be taken when the retention period expires
• The volume storage sequence (order)
• Where to store tape volumes
• How to store tape volumes
