Administering CA VM:Tape (CMS TMCs Only) › Reformatting the TMC › Example

Example

Reformat a TMC after adding SERIES records to the VMTAPE CONFIG file.

1. Rename the current VMTAPE TMC to OLDTMC TMC B:

   rename vmtape tmc b oldtmc tmc b

2. Issue a FILEDEF command, using the current TMC to build a new VMTAPE TMC as specified by the CMSTMC and SERIES records in the VMTAPE CONFIG file:

   filedef currtmc disk oldtmc tmc b

3. Reformat the TMC:

   vmtbuild tmc currtmc
