SET Command

[Authorization: OPERATOR]

Use the SET command to set 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.

CA VM:Tape tries to select tape drives from the locations in the order they are listed on this command. That is, CA VM:Tape first tries to select a tape drive from the first (default) location listed, then the second location listed, then the third, and so on.

Note: CA VM:Tape checkpoints location ordering.
