RMSSCRCT Record
Use the RMSSCRCT Record to specify the categories that CA VM:Tape should consider as valid for scratch mount selection when using the IBM 3494 Tape Library Data Server.
For the RMS interface, the RMSSCRCT Record is optional:
- If the RMS interface is active and the RMSSCRCT Record is not specified, then CA VM:Tape does not validate the SCRATCH category as a last check before using it.
- If the RMSSCRCT Record is specified, all RMS internal VM reserved categories (SCRATCH0-SCRATCHF) are usable in addition to those specifically listed on the RMSSCRCT record. If CA VM:Tape picks a scratch tape that is not in these categories, the tape is rejected and another scratch tape is selected. The process continues up to 100 retries, after which CA VM:Tape cancels the mount and issues message VMTIBM304E indicating that there are no scratch tapes available.
