Implementing TapeSHARE

This section describes how to implement the 

BMC AMI Ops Automation TapeSHARE

 component. Some steps are optional. 

TapeSHARE runs in a BBI-SS PAS and an image can have only one BBI-SS PAS where TapeSHARE is installed. Steps 1 and 2 are required and they must be performed on every BBI-SS PAS within the TapeSHARE PLEX.

Note

To use TapeSHARE, you must make sure the z/OS Allocated/Offline Device Exit is not specified on any image where TapeSHARE will run. TapeSHARE is defined dynamically as an Allocated/Offline Device Exit to z/OS when it initializes.

TapeSHARE prerequisites

To use TapeSHARE, the only prerequisites are that you have a valid BMC AMI Ops Automation for z/OS password key and that you have a password key for the BMC AMI Ops Automation TapeSHARE component. See Step-1-Entering-the-password-key-for-TapeSHARE for more information about password keys.
