Administering the volumes with MAREN

If you are using the software product “MAREN“, MAREN administers all FDDRL MTCs.

If the software product MAREN is not available, the functionality of FDDRL is restricted:

• The tape cannot be determined automatically. TAPE=*BY-VOLUME-CATALOG can consequently not be specified.

• The volume type cannot be determined automatically. TAPE-DEVICE-TYPE=*BY-VOLUME-CATALOG can consequently not be specified.

If the saves were created using MAREN, restoration of the backup volumes is also possible without MAREN in the event of a disaster.
