Storage Location (Vault) Management

CA-TLMS manages the movement of tape volumes between different storage locations according to commands specified in the RMF. Storage type and tape capacity are defined for each location.

The conversion tool automatically converts RMF location information to Control-M/Tape rule definitions.

Locations with more than one type of storage, such as CABINET, BOX, and UNDEFINED, are described by multiple records in the RMF. A different Location ID is assigned to each type of storage in each storage location.

During conversion, a Control-M/Tape Vault definition must be defined for each CA-TLMS location ID (storage location). All relevant cabinet IDs and their starting slot numbers must also be defined for these vaults.
