Control-M/Tape Vault Definition screens enable you to view, create, and modify vault definitions.
Vaults are locations in which removable media can be stored as an alternative to the active library. A vault definition defines the vault name, location, and optionally the capacity of the vault.
Vault definitions are stored in libraries (partitioned data sets). A library contains vault tables (members), and each table contains specifications for one or more vault definitions. Most sites designate a primary vault definition library (the default is $$VAULT in the PARM library), but the number of vault definition libraries that you can use is unlimited.
Vault definitions are also stored in the Control-M/Tape Media Database. Modifications to existing Vault Definitions are only incorporated after a run of vault management utility CTTVTM. For more information about utility CTTVTM, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
