Starting the CA Vtape Subsystem

To start CA Vtape on the system console, enter S procname, where procname is SVTS or the renamed value you chose to use.

Many messages are issued at startup to document whether key features are active or inactive. Additional messages are issued to document actions taken, whether critical internal components have been found, and the status of the startup of the main task and its daughter tasks.

CA Vtape consists of one main address space with the default name of SVTS, the Backstore Engine subaddress space with the default name of SVTSAS.SVT1PT, the Utility subaddress space with the default name of SVTSAS.SVT1UT, and up to eight Virtual Device Controller subaddress spaces with the default names of SVTSAS.SVT1Vn (with n=1 to 8). The number of Virtual Device Controllers is determined by what you code in the VTDRIVE parmlib member.

When the SVT1IRB00I Timer Manager Ready message is issued, the startup of all address spaces for the CA Vtape Subsystem is complete.
