Issue/Introduction

In the TSSUTIL report, is there a way to differentiate between Tape(datasets and volumes), and DASD(datasets and volumes)?

 

Resolution

Options:

1. Use descriptive dataset names to help differentiate tapes datasets from disk datasets.
2. If using a 3rd party tape management facility that has the ability to use a different resource class for tape datasets and tape volumes use a different resoure class.
   Example:
   Use TAPEVOL and TAPEDSN versus VOLUME and DATASET resource class.

Please consult with your 3rd party tape management facility documentation.
