Tape Security

Secure Access Control Module enables you to implement tape security for tape volumes that have associated with them a usercode and the SECURITYTYPE, SECURITYUSE, and SECURITYGUARD attributes.

This feature has the following characteristics:

  • A tape volume can be “owned” by a user.

  • A tape volume can be a public or private volume.

  • Different kinds of access can be designated with the SECURITYUSE attribute.

  • The tape volume can be guarded with a guard file.
