Recommendations and Considerations

Setting Locations

A location can be either a specific Tape Library Data Server unit, or a unit outside all Tape Library Data Servers (the NONARM location). CA VM:Tape determines Tape Library Data Server locations dynamically through the RMS interface. Location names for the Tape Library Data Server can be up to eight characters long.

Use the SET command to specify a Tape Library Data Server as the default location for scratch mount and allocation requests. You can also use the SET command to specify alternative locations in case tape drives from the default location are not available.
