Pool Management

CA-TLMS Tape Pool management allows ranges of tape volumes in a tape library to be defined as a tape pool for a specific group of users or application. Scratch requests are restricted to a specific pool according to a specified DSN prefix, job name, EDM name and program name. On detection of a scratch mount request, CA-TLMS checks the mounted tape volume against the volume ranges that are valid for the dataset.

Control-M/Tape Pool definitions and relevant rule definitions are manually defined during conversion to ensure compatibility between Control-M/Tape and CA-TLMS pool management. For more information, see Step 11: Define Scratch Pools and Related Rules.
