Authorization
The POOLXFR command requires Tape Manager Admins authority or the appropriate pool authority. TAPE authority is required for the target pool. If DELETE is specified as an operand when attempting to delete the source pool, pool administrator authority is required for the source pool; otherwise, TAPE authority is required for the source pool.
When an External Security Manager (ESM) is active, the authorities may be controlled by ESM profiles:
- When
Pool_Authority
is YES, pool administrator authority requires READ access to the pool administrator profile for the pool being deleted. - When
Pool_Authority
is YES, TAPE authority for a private pool requires ALTER access to the pool volume profile of the private pool. - When
Privileged_User_Authority
is YES, Tape Manager Admins authority requires READ access to the administrator profile.
