Managing Tape Volumes
To protect controlled datasets effectively, BIM-EPIC controls the tape volumes they reside on.
BIM-EPIC also protects the tape volumes it controls. 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 name of the dataset they contain. Tape
volumes 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.
