Parameter Descriptions

The following provides a description of each parameter:

ON

Indicates that CA VM:Tape is to check whether the tape is write-protected. CA VM:Tape unloads the tape and re-prompts the operator for a NORING mount if the tape is not write-protected.

OFF

Indicates that CA VM:Tape is to ignore the tape's write protection status. You should use the OFF parameter with the GIVE READONLY configuration file record.
