Creating Resource Pools

To create a resource pool from the Manage Resource Pools screen, use the CREATE/poolname command.

On the Manage Resource Pools screen, enter create/poolname on the command line, where poolname is the name of the pool you want to create. CA VM:Backup displays the Modify Resource Pool poolname screen.

Use this screen to describe following information:

• For physical tapes, whether enhanced device support is enabled
• For DASDtape, the DASDtape characteristics
• Empty pool actions
• If CA VM:Tape is used, how that product selects tapes for backup jobs

the tapes contained in the pool and how CA VM:Backup (or CA VM:Tape, if CA VM:Backup is interfaced with CA VM:Tape) should select tapes for use in backup jobs.
