Creating Pools

The CA VM:Backup system administrator uses the Manage Resource Pools screen to define the following:

• Name of the resource pool (or superpool)
• Media type of the tapes in the pool
• Density at which to write the tapes
• Action CA VM:Backup should take when a resource pool is empty
• Volsers of the tapes belonging to the pool

Note: For more information about defining and updating resource pools, see TAPEPOOL Record or the chapter "Managing Resource Pools" in the Administration Guide.
