[Authorization: SETUPOPR]
Use the SETUP command to control the status of the Setup facility and pending setup requests.
When the Setup facility is not active, CA VM:Tape immediately allocates an available drive when it receives a mount request. During the time it takes to locate and mount the requested tape, the drive is unavailable for use.
When the Setup facility is active, CA VM:Tape converts tape mount requests into setup requests and routes them to a tape setup operator for handling. All non-scratch and specific scratch mounts go through setup processing. CA VM:Tape does not allocate a drive for a mount request until the tape setup operator has located the tape and instructed CA VM:Tape to convert the setup request back into a normal mount request.
You can use the Setup facility if the Autopick facility is active.
Note: For more information about the Setup facility, see the Administration Guide.
