DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a device class)
Use this command to define a device class for a type of storage device. The server requires that a device class be defined to allow the use of a device.
For the most up-to-date list of supported devices and valid device class formats, see the
IBM Spectrum Protect™ Supported Devices website:
Note: The DISK device class is defined by IBM
Spectrum Protect and cannot
be modified with the DEFINE DEVCLASS command.
If you are defining a device class for devices that are to be accessed
through a z/OS® media
server, see Define device class for z/OS media
server.
The
following IBM
Spectrum Protect device
classes are ordered by device type.
