## Library Manager volume categories 

## F 

This appendix describes Library Manager volume categories and the platforms that use them. The IBM TS7700 does not use a Library Manager in the IBM 3494-style. Table F-1 lists all the default Library Manager volume categories, platforms used, and definitions. These categories can be modified to address the operational needs of the system environment. 

In Release 3.2 of the TS7700, all categories that are defined as scratch inherit the Fast Ready attribute. There is no longer a need to use the Management Interface (MI) to set the Fast Ready attribute to scratch categories. However, the MI is still needed to indicate which categories are scratch. 

Remember:  IBM z/OS users can define any category from 0x0001  - 0xEFFF  ( 0x0000  and 0xFFxx  cannot be used) with the DEVSUPxx  member SYS1.PARMLIB . IEASYSxx  must point to the appropriate member. If you use the library with other operating systems, or with multiple z/OS sysplexes in a partitioned environment, review your category usage to avoid potential conflicts.
