Many sites have tape libraries that are not immediately accessible to computer room personnel. In this type of arrangement, the CA VM:Tape Setup facility can be used to forward volume staging messages to a remote tape operator. The setup operator uses the CA VM:Tape SETUP command to control the disposition of the setup requests. For more information on the SETUP Command, see Command Reference Guide.
Small sites with few operators may also find the Setup facility useful. The setup operator receives mount requests, enabling him or her to locate the tape volume requested before an actual mount request is generated. This reduces the amount of time a drive is attached to the CA VM:Tape service virtual machine waiting for a mount to complete.
