Resource Pools

If CA VM:Backup is not interfaced with CA VM:Tape, all tapes CA VM:Backup uses must belong to resource pools. If CA VM:Backup is interfaced with CA VM:Tape, CA VM:Tape assumes complete control over the maintenance of resource pools for physical media.

When using CA VM:Tape with CA VM:Backup, you must define CA VM:Backup resource pools using TAPEPOOL configuration file records or the Manage Resource Pool screen. Options specified in these resource pool definitions determine in part how CA VM:Tape selects tapes. For more information see TAPEPOOL Record.
