Method Two: HSC/SMC Exits

The SLSUX02 exit influences nonspecific or scratch mounts and must be installed if Virtual Devices and silo devices share the same esoteric.

The SLSUX08 exit influences specific VOLSER or nonscratch mount requests. This exit must be installed if Virtual Devices and silo devices share the same esoteric and TAPEREQ statements or if tapes are ejected from the silo and must be entered back into the silo to be mounted.

POLICY statements must not be assigned to mount requests that should be intercepted by CA Vtape. If the HSC/SMC software assigns a POLICY statement to a mount request, the software does not call its exits.
