Issue/Introduction

Customer is replacing their virtual tape hardware and need an outage window with no tape processing.

Looking for the steps to turn off tape backup processing temporarily.

Resolution

To avoid using the Tape, do the following changes:

In SARINIT:
DAYS=NNNNNNN
TBACKUP=NO
TAPECLSL=
TAPEOPT=3480,HARD,NOSOFT
MOUNT=NO

In RMOPARMS:
ARCHn=c/d/f/m/p - where "m" (for media) is not "T"

If EAS is used, bring down all EAS tasks.
If the same esoteric is going to be used (SARINIT STORGRPn), no changes.
If another media is used, use SARPAC to move reports to new media.
