Recommendations and Considerations

Setting Locations

A location can be either a specific ATL unit, or a unit outside all ATL units (the NONARM location). CA VM:Tape determines ATL locations dynamically through the LMS interface. Locations for the SUTMYN LMS product correspond to the eight-character ATL names.

Use the SET command to specify an ATL as the default tape drive location for scratch mount and allocation requests. You can also use the command to specify alternative locations in case tape drives from the default location are not available.
