After following Les' recommendations for installing and customizing the
RMS component of DFSMS/VM, review and follow the instructions in the
VM:Tape System Administrator's Guide; Appendix D, IBM Tape Library Data
Server.
Those steps will guide you to:
--> Update your VMTAPE CONFIG file
--> Update the DFSMS/VM DGTAUTH DATA file
--> Ensure that the VM:Tape virtual machine is LINKED and ACCESSED
to the DFSMS "run disk" (usually the DFSMS 1B5 minidisk)
--> Issue a VMTAPE START RMS command
--> Issue a VMTAPE SET LOCATION command if needed
If you have more questions, please call CA's VM Customer Support ...

You will want to install the RMS component of DFSMS/VM (RMSONLY)
then follow setup information in chapter 2 of the RMS User's Guide.
