Security levels and security categories for tapes

As an option, you can add security level and security category protection to the tape volume's profile. To achieve this additional protection, use the RALTER command with the appropriate operands.

For example, to add a security level of CONFIDENTIAL and security categories of PLANNING and STATUS to the profile of tape volume 123456, enter:

RALTER TAPEVOL 123456 SECLEVEL(CONFIDENTIAL)
       ADDCATEGORY(PLANNING, STATUS)

When a user creates data sets on tape volume 123456, the user should ensure that each data set has the same security level and security categories as specified on the RALTER command.

To delete the security level and all of the security categories from the volume's profile (for example, when a user has finished working with a tape volume), issue the RALTER command with the NOSECLEVEL and DELCATEGORY(*) operands. For tape volume 123456, enter the command as follows:

RALTER TAPEVOL 123456 NOSECLEVEL DELCATEGORY(*)
