To make use of this facility, there needs to be some initial setup.
This involves defining the tape name to be used, defining the tape group name
and selecting the tape drives. To facilitate the use of tapes with the
TPFxd_ functions, do the following:
- Define the ARCHIVE (ACR) tape group using the ZTGRP command on any
processor that is using TPFxd_ functions.
- Using the ZTDEV command, assign the group ARCHIVE to any tape drives that
are going to be used for either input or output TPFxd_
functions.
- Using the ZTDEV command, enable automount on tape drives that will be used
as output devices.
- Define the ARC tape name as both input and output and unblocked, set the
generation number to blanks, and assign it to the ARCHIVE tape group through
the ZTLBL command.
