Configuring disk access for z/OS media storage

To access storage volumes on magnetic disk devices using a z/OS® media server, define a z/OS media library and paths to the library for data transfer. Then define a FILE device class for volumes in the library.

About this task

After the z/OS media server zserver is defined, you can configure access to disk storage resources.

Procedure

  1. Define the z/OS library that is connected to the z/OS media server:
    define library zfilelibrary libtype=zosmedia
  2. Define a path from the Tivoli® Storage Manager server to the z/OS media library through the z/OS media server:
    define path tsmserver zfilelibrary srctype=server 
    desttype=library zosmediaserver=zserver
  3. Define a FILE device class to use for the library:
    define devclass zfile library=zfilelibrary 
    devtype=file prefix=MEDIA.SERVER.HLQ
