Problem:
EP437 TAPECUU ADDRESS NOT ADDED AT IPL
Cause:
There is no dummy tape device defined to your VSE system.
Resolution:
If you use CA EPIC for z/VSE's tape management, you must define a dummy (non-existent) tape device.
Step1
Locate the ADD statements in your ASI procedure.
Step 2
Add a PUB entry for a dummy tape device. For example:
ADD F00,3420T9
Any valid tape device type (and mode) can be specified. The dummy tape device is only referenced by programs that do pre-open checking to determine device category (tape, disk, printer, and so on). The actual tape device is selected by CA EPIC for z/VSE based on the mode requested when a program issues an OPEN request.
Step 3
Write the dummy device address you used on your configuration option worksheet (the TAPCUU option).
Additional information:
For dual density tape drives, specify the highest available mode setting on the ADD statement that defines the drive.
For example:
ADD 880:884,3420T9,D0 (6250 BPI on a 1600/6250 drive)
