Managing Tape Volumes
To protect controlled datasets effectively, BIM-EPIC controls the tape
volumes where the controlled datasets reside. BIM-EPIC also protects the
tape volume serial numbers. Every tape that contains a
BIM-EPIC-controlled dataset is recorded in the DSN Catalog. Tapes are
identified by volume serial number and controlled at the version level
under the dataset name they contain. Tape volume serial numbers are
cataloged individually, as they are used for controlled datasets or
initialized with TSIDINIT. BIM-EPIC provides utilities to assist you in
labeling, initializing, pooling, and vaulting controlled tapes. This chapter
describes BIM-EPIC tape control and tape protection utilities.
