The exact process varies depending on your specific environment. I seem to recall years ago the StorageTek had a document that explained the process and where they fit in. It was a pretty lengthy process as the allocation snaked its way through each of the LPAR's first for the unit and later for the dataset IIRC
Why do want to know? Perhaps a different question.... -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MONTERO ROMERO, ENRIQUE ELOI Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 5:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: tape alloc workflow or diagram Hi, I am looking for a diagram or workflow which explains how tape allocationas are performed. i mean, when the job/program asks for a tape unit, which components have to work to give the tape to the program (RMM, Operative System, HSM, Catalog,...). Is there some IBM manual that explains it?
