Previous Topic: Tracking and Handling Rejected VolumesNext Topic: Scratch Volume Availability


Example

Your site has a small tape library, and you want to make sure that lost or damaged volumes are deleted from the TMC. Activate the Autopick facility and specify that all scratch volumes rejected by CA VM:Tape more than twice be marked as deleted in the TMC. Add this record to the VMTAPE CONFIG file:

AUTOPICK ATTEMPTS 3 DELETE

To make a deleted volume available again, reset the delete bit for that volume in the TMC by using the CA VM:Tape EDIT command.
