Activating Utility CTTTPI From the StorageTek Host Software Component

The initialization program of the StorageTek Host Software Component (HSC) invokes a media initialization program specific to the site. To indicate that you want to use the CTTTPI utility for volume initialization, follow the instructions above and the instructions for the cartridge initialization utility in the StorageTek reference manual with the following modifications:

1. Specify PROG(ctttpiname) to the StorageTek SLUADMIN utility.

   where

   ctttpiname is either CTTTPI or (if you renamed the CTTTPI utility as described in the final adjustments to Control-M/Tape installation) IEHINITT.

2. Pass the CTTTPI input control statements to StorageTek’s Host Software Component using DD statement SLSINIT.
3. Specify ****** (six asterisks) for CTTTPI parameter SER.

For a sample JCL that activates the CTTTPI utility from StorageTek’s HSC Software component, see CTTTPI Example 2.
