FTK – FileTek Storage Machine (SM) or OAM – Object Access Method Media

The resources (devices) defined in IOASPRM for media type FTK and OAM are logical devices. A logical device task is activated whenever a request is made to access a dataset that is not already being handled by another logical device. Each logical device handles only one dataset at a time.

Up to 100 logical devices can be activated at one time depending on the value specified for Control‑V installation parameter MAXCONN, and optionally, the maximum set through a START or STOP operator command. If more than MAXCONN requests were made concurrently, they wait in a queue for an available logical device.
