your VMBACKUP CONFIG file for a RESERVE record ... again RESERVE ON is the
default, so if you don't find one you are running with RESERVE ON. Add or
change the record to RESERVE OFF.> > JR Imler> CA, Inc.> >

around for the following problem that i am having I am running CA's VMBACKUP
and VMTAPE, I have four tape drive total when I start my daily backups VMTAPE
assigns all four tape drives and looks for another and tells me there's 1 tape

and RPIUCMS ... they are not really needed any longer, the authentication is
done differently under z/VM 5.4. There were updates to the VM:Secure versions
of these to support backward compatability that you likely do not have in place
... so accessing the older code is likely the cause of the problem. However, as
you see, getting rid of them also works.> > > > JR Imler> > > >
