You can use an automatic cartridge loader (ACL) on a tape drive to automatically satisfy mount requests for general scratch, standard-labeled tapes. CA VM:Tape loads the tape at the bottom of the ACL’s hopper each time a user requests a general scratch tape, then ejects the tape into the ACL’s output bin before mounting the next tape. If you need to load a saved tape or a specific scratch tape on the tape drive to satisfy a mount request, you can load the tape manually.
This section describes how to use IBM’s ACLs. There may be variations from the ACL your site uses, depending on your hardware vendor’s implementation of ACL support.
The ALLOCATE user exit includes a variable that can determine whether a tape drive is ACL-equipped.
Note: For more information about this user exit, see Administration Guide.
