Recommendations and Considerations

Setting Locations

A location can be either a specific ACS unit, or a unit outside all ACS units (the NONARM location). CA VM:Tape determines ACS locations dynamically through the HSC interface. Location names for the ACS consist of six characters, ACS followed by the ACSID number (for example, ACS000, ACS001).

Use the SET command to specify an ACS 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.
