IBM ACL Support
General Requirements
In this section, the term ACL refers to the IBM 3494 Tape Library Dataserver and to the IBM
Virtual Tape System (VTS). IBM provides two ACL support environments:
•
the LCDD environment uses the IBM Library Control Device Driver (LCDD) as the
ACL Manager for native VSE/ESA or VM/VSE. Not available for VTS.
•
the VGS environment uses IBM VSE Guest Server (VGS) as the ACL Manager for
VM/VSE. IF VGS is not used, LCDD can be used instead.
In this environment, the LCDD must be active before any BIM-EPIC support will be effective.
Refer to the appropriate IBM documentation for further information.
A SETPFIX LIMIT=100K,PERM JCL statement must be present in each static and dynamic
partition’s ASI initialization. This is a requirement of the IBM interface.
The IBM VGS and Inventory servers must be active at the time BIM-EPIC is started. IBM’s
LIBRCMSV program must be active before any ACL inventory request or cartridge status
changes (Scratch, Retain, Delete, Eject...) are made. Refer to the appropriate IBM
documentation for more information.
For both support environments, the following BIM-EPIC configuration options are required in
addition to those described on page 5-54:
•
ACLIBM=YES
For the VGS environment, the following options are also required:
• ACLSRVRI=VGS-server-name
•
VM=YES
For more information on these options, see the OPTION CONTROL STATEMENT portion of
this manual.
In an LCDD environment, the sublib portion of the ACLLIB configuration parameter must
be the same as the LCDD LUNAME parameter. See the ACLLIB configuration option for
more information
