The Interactive Storage Management Facility (ISMF) supports the system administrator in managing tape libraries and tape volumes through the use of panels and line operator commands. These panels and commands are used to list, define, display, and alter the tape library and tape volume attributes that make up the installation’s SMS configuration.
The following series of panels illustrate examples of using ISMF to list, define, display, and alter information concerning the automated and manual tape library through the use of ISMF panels and line operators.
