STAMPARM Record

Use the STAMPARM Record to identify the CMS file containing the STAM parameter file. This file describes the devices and systems participating in the STAM complex. For a description of the STAM parameter file, see Defining the STAM Parameter File.

Note: The VMTSTF utility reads the STAM parameter file and builds a framework for the locks that STAM uses to allocate drives. Every time you modify the STAM parameter file, execute the VMTSTF utility to ensure that the structure of the STAM control disk area is updated with the change. The CA VM:Tape STAM facility reads the STAM parameter file and expects the control disk to match those specifications. Any variance could result in unpredictable behavior. For more information about the VMTSTF utility, see VMTSTF Utility (CMS TMCs Only).
