1C0 (Resource Pool) Minidisk

The resource pool minidisk stores the resource pool files CA VM:Backup uses to manage tapes. Resource pools, which are stored as CMS files with the filetype TAPEPOOL, define the tapes available for backup and MPC jobs. You can interactively define resource pools and specify characteristics about the tapes contained in each pool, but the TAPEPOOL files on the minidisk are maintained entirely by CA VM:Backup.

CA VM:Backup requires a resource pool minidisk, even if it is interfaced with CA VM:Tape, and will not initialize unless it has a read/write link to this minidisk.
