Table 19 lists various automated tape libraries and the functions supported for each library. Each function is identified by a number and one or more function indicators. For detailed descriptions of the functions, see Function Descriptions.
Note: Certain functions can be implemented by both the Control-M/Tape interface and the vendor-provided automated tape library interface. However, to prevent unnecessary waste of system resources, BMC recommends that you do not implement any functions through both interfaces at the same time.

a Not all the functions are available for every automated tape library.
b T indicates that the function is supported by the Control-M/Tape interface.
c N indicates that the function is not supported or not relevant.
d A indicates that the function is supported automatically; no interface is necessary.
e V indicates that the function is supported by the vendor-provided automated tape library interface.
