You may choose to configure backup devices so that they are automatically
assigned to users. This is also referred to as auto reply.
When devices are configured for automatic assignment, the system automatically
answers media requests for you.
Devices configured for automatic assignment must have the following
characteristics:
The device mode must be R (autoreply).
The device must not be job or data accepting.
The device must not be assigned to another user.
The device specification must be unique. You must
use the device specification (logical device number or unique device
class) in a FILE command describing the device.
The user must request an unlabeled media.
Refer to System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown
Reference Manual for instructions for configuring devices.
In order for the system to automatically assign a correctly
configured device, the user (or you, if you are storing or restoring
files yourself) must name the device and its LDEV number (or device
class, if the device class is unique) in a FILE command preceding
the STORE command, and the device must not be assigned to any other
user. If a device cannot be automatically assigned, you must assign the device
in the standard manner. Instructions for using the FILE and
STORE commands can be found in Chapter 5, "Storing Files."
