TRS performs some special processing for tapes in an ATL and virtual tapes. These tapes require special manual procedures when TRS schedules them for movement. Tapes in an ATL are displayed on TRS reports with location DC and 'ATL ' in the cabinet/slot field. Virtual tapes have no physical tape for a VOLSER. They exist only in cache within the ATL or as special data sets on a 'container' tape volume when EXPORTed. Virtual tapes in an ATL are displayed on TRS reports with a location of DC and 'VTS ' in the cabinet/slot field. When TRS schedules movement for a virtual tape it shows the new location for the tape and a cabinet/slot of 'VTS ' or 'VTX '. There is no physical volume or cabinet/slot used, but it is necessary for TRS to logically move the tape through its entire retention schedule before scratching it. TRS reports show 'VTS ' while the virtual tape is on cache within the ATL and 'VTX ' when it is on a container tape. These values are independent of the TRS logical location.
