Revolving Tape
Datasets
When you specify Revolving Tapes=YES for a dataset, you establish an
exclusive relationship between a dataset and the tape serial numbers the
dataset uses. A revolving tape volume can contain one version of a
specific dataset and can be written only on specific tape volumes. A
revolving tape volume cannot be used in an Automated Cartridge Library
(ACL).
Tape Size If you specify tape size as SMALL, BIM-EPIC requests a small scratch
tape when the dataset is created. If a tape volume serial number ends in S,
BIM-EPIC considers the tape small. Large tapes are the default and have
no restriction on their volume serial numbers. This option cannot be used
for tape cartridges.
Vault Method
Number
A vault method establishes a pattern of movement through tape vaults for
each tape version in the dataset. The vault method number field assigns a
vault method and activates vaulting for the dataset.
