Securing tapes when running DFSMShsm and DFSMSrmm

How you use the DFSMShsm SETSYS option TAPESECURITY influences the TPRACF value in the DFSMSrmm parmlib member EDGRMMxx. DFSMShsm can optionally use RACF TAPEVOL profiles to secure its volumes. You can combine the DFSMShsm method for securing volumes with DFSMSrmm RACF options as described in Defining system options: OPTION to ensure complete security for your tape data.

Select the appropriate combinations for your environment from these options:

Use RACF with TAPEVOL and TAPEDSN.
Use DFSMShsm TAPESECURITY with RACF or EXPIRATIONINCLUDE.
Use RACF or RACFINCLUDE when RACF TAPEVOL profiles are used.
Use EXPIRATION or EXPIRATIONINCLUDE when RACF TAPEDSN or DEVSUPxx TAPEAUTHDSN is used.
Use DFSMSrmm TPRACF with A, P, or N and VLPOOL RACF with Y or N.
