What the Operator Can Do

The operator can use the CA VM:Tape LMS command to start, halt, and query the status of the interface.

Note: For complete information about the LMS command, see the Command Reference Guide.

If the interface is started when CA VM:Tape ends, then the interface will be started automatically when CA VM:Tape is reinitialized. If the interface is halted when CA VM:Tape ends, or if CA VM:Tape has never been initialized, then the interface will not be automatically started when CA VM:Tape is initialized.

CA VM:Tape cannot use the drives defined to LMS while the interface is halted unless the operator uses the DISARM command to temporarily designate these drives as manual drives.

Note: For more information about the DISARM command, see the Command Reference Guide.

Operators can use the CA VM:Tape CHANGE command to redirect a user’s mount request to use an LMS location.

Note: For more information about the CHANGE command, see the Command Reference Guide.
