Description
Automatically requests a supported external application
to copy all data from a bad and/or suspect tape to
another tape. Once you enable this policy, you can select
whether to copy bad tapes, suspect tapes, or both.
A RAS ticket will be generated for each request to copy
data indicating whether the request succeeds or fails.
You can only select this option if a supported external
application is enabled for use with EDLM on this
partition (see
page 337).
In order for this policy to work, the partition must
contain at least two tape drives (one for the bad/suspect
tape from which you are copying data and one for the
good tape to which you are copying data).

13 Click Finish to apply your settings, or use the Back button to make

To review the policies you configured, you can go back through the
Wizard, or you can click Monitor > Partitions > Policies. See
