HSC and Automated Cartridge System Interaction
After the HSC is started and the tape management system (TMS) service machine has
begun a dialog, mount or dismount requests are processed from the TMS, and the library
control data set is used to determine the location of the requested cartridge
(library-controlled or nonlibrary).
The library control data set is created on a DASD volume when you perform a data set
initialization during installation. Figure 4 on page 14 shows that it is necessary to share the
control data set between all hosts requiring access to the library.
