Use the RESERVE record to specify whether CA VM:Backup should reserve tape drives when interfaced with CA VM:Tape and whether the drives should be reserved for all mounts or only write mounts.
RESERVE [ON | OFF | WRITE]
If you specify that CA VM:Backup should not reserve tape drives, CA VM:Backup still requires that a specified number of drives be available to start the job. After the job starts, you can temporarily use a drive for another purpose because CA VM:Tape has not saved the drives for CA VM:Backup.
Important! If you are using the CA VM:Backup interface to CA VM:Tape in an automated cartridge system (ACS) environment, you should specify RESERVE OFF. This prevents CA VM:Backup from issuing a RESERVE in any environment, whether the ACS is being used or not.
Specifies CA VM:Backup is to reserve tape drives for read and write mounts.
Specifies CA VM:Backup is not to reserve tape drives.
Specifies CA VM:Backup is to reserve tape drives for write mounts only.
You can include only one RESERVE record in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file. The default is RESERVE ON.
Interactive Reconfiguration
You cannot interactively reconfigure the RESERVE record through CA VM:Backup system administrator screens.
