Installation Tapes

CA Top Secret for z/VM is distributed on a single labeled tape. In addition, a CA‑CIS for z/VM tape is distributed which contains the latest genlevel of CA-Activator as well as the latest genlevels of the other CA‑CIS services.

One tape unit is required to install the product. CA-Activator automatically locates the components necessary to install the product and transfers them from tape to disk.

Several days before installation, check with your CA regional office or central support office to ensure that you have all Program Temporary Fixes (PTFs) beyond the base genlevel.
