Parameter Descriptions

The following provides a description of each parameter:

mia-userid

Specifies the user ID of the service virtual machine running the CA MIA product. This user ID must be the same as the user ID specified on other MIADEVICE records, if any exist, in the VMTAPE CONFIG file.

You can specify more than one MIADEVICE Record if you need more room to accommodate all devices. However, the user ID on all the records must be the same.

[ NAME groupname ]

Designates a group name (up to eight characters) for all the drives that follow.

Use the group name with the NAME option on the MOUNT command to limit the drives that are eligible to satisfy the request to those in the designated group.

devices

Specifies a list of real tape drive addresses under control of the MIA system. Do not specify these addresses on other DEVICE or MIADEVICE records.

The drive addresses must match the internal device names specified in the MIA UNITS MIM file.
