Initialization Parameters › Initialization Parameter Descriptions › MOUNT

MOUNT

This parameter specifies whether online tape mounts are allowed.

Syntax:

MOUNT=YES|NO

The default is YES.

Values are as follows:

YES

Allows online tape mounts.

For native TSO and SPF/ISPF, when you specify this option, the user attributes (UADS) for the user determines whether online tape mounts are allowed.

When using an external security package (RACF, CA ACF2 Security, CA Top Secret Security, and so on) the user must be granted access to the MOUNT resource under the TSOAUTH class.

Note: For more information about this parameter, see the security program documentation for the exact technique to do this.

NO

Prevents online tape mounts.
