RMSRANGE Record

Use the RMSRANGE Record to specify a range of volsers that CA VM:Tape considers to reside in the specified IBM 3494 Tape Library Data Server location. For scratch mount processing, CA VM:Tape uses the values specified on RMSRANGE records to determine the location of the requested volser.

Multiple RMSRANGE records can be specified per location. If you are using other supported ARM devices, the RMSRANGE Record can be specified along with HSCRANGE records and LMSRANGE records.

For any active ARM interface, specifying RMSRANGE records is optional. If no RMSRANGE records are specified, CA VM:Tape uses the existing SCRATCH/REFRESH processing for the IBM 3494 Tape Library Data Server.

If multiple robotic interfaces are active, some may implement RANGE logic and others may not. For example, you could specify RMSRANGE records to enhance synchronization performance, but specify no HSCRANGE records, which would permit CA VM:Tape to synchronize with the STK robot.
