When Control-M/Tape is running in Global Test mode or Global Phased mode parallel to another tape management system, the databases of Control-M/Tape and the other tape management system must be synchronized. To ensure that the databases are synchronized, run Control-M/Tape’s New Day procedure whenever the retention and vaulting utilities of the existing tape management system are run.
If discrepancies are found, analyze them and correct Control-M/Tape definitions and/or parameters as necessary. If many discrepancies are detected it may be necessary to reconvert the data from the other tape management system.
A reconversion of tape management data is also recommended whenever the Control-M/Tape global operation mode is changed.
Control-M/Tape does not require any modifications to the existing tape management system at your site. Normally, definitions in the existing tape management system should not be changed during the changeover period to Control-M/Tape. However, if any definitions for the existing tape management system are changed, ensure that all modifications are also incorporated into the Control-M/Tape rule, vault, and pool definitions.
