Step 2: Activating TapeSHARE
After the password key is implemented, restart the BBI-SS PAS and TapeSHARE is activated for that image. You do not have to restart z/OS.
For every image that you want to include in a TapeSHARE PLEX, you must add a password key for that image and restart the BBI-SS PAS.
If you choose to use TapeSHARE in its default state, every BBI node defined in the BBINOD00 member with a TapeSHARE installed is a partner in the TapeSHARE PLEX.
For more information about what values are used in the default state, see TapeSHARE-parameters-in-AAOTSPxx.
After TapeSHARE is installed
After TapeSHARE is installed, it can perform all of your tape device sharing without ever performing any customization steps. See Reference-for-BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation-options for information about how to customize and use TapeSHARE.
