The CA VM:Tape configuration file (VMTAPE CONFIG) is a source file that contains locally determined controls and options for CA VM:Tape. This file is maintained by, and customized only under the authority of, the system administrator. The VMTAPE CONFIG file should reside on the 191 minidisk (A-disk) of the CA VM:Tape service virtual machine.
A CA VM:Tape configuration file record consists of a record name followed by one or more keywords or options with one or more blanks separating them. The records are fixed-length, 80-character records. All 80 columns can contain information. Options can be placed anywhere on the line. Records with an asterisk (*) as the first non-blank character are ignored, allowing these lines to be used for comments. Blank lines are also ignored.
As part of its initialization process, CA VM:Tape reads the configuration file and builds its system control blocks according to local specifications. If CA VM:Tape finds an incorrect Record during initialization, the Record and a diagnostic message are displayed on the CA VM:Tape console, and CA VM:Tape fails to initialize.
This chapter contains an alphabetical quick reference to all the records. Complete format information for all records follows in alphabetical order.
Table VMTAPE CONFIG File Record Quick Reference lists the configuration file records, their associated options, whether they can be used with a CMS TMC, an OS TMC, or both, their default values, and whether they are a required Record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file.
