Autopick Facility

You cannot use an ACL with the CA VM:Tape Autopick facility. When the Autopick facility is active for a particular scratch pool, CA VM:Tape automatically selects a specific scratch tape to satisfy each mount request for a scratch tape from that pool. If you were to use this facility with an ACL, CA VM:Tape would load a general scratch tape from the hopper, then eject the tape because it was not the one selected by the Autopick facility. Unless the hopper contained the selected tape, CA VM:Tape would continue loading and ejecting tapes until the ACL was empty.

Note: For information about turning off the Autopick facility, see AUTOPICK Command.
