I checked it by varying the cluster 0 units offline, creating a tape for cluster 0 and reading the statistics: the statistics are from cluster 1 (as shown by the cluster serial number). Maybe it is caused by different microcode levels, I will have my IBM rep check if V1.2 made a change in this scenario.

And I'd personally rather see the (IMO legitimate) response here than have a bunch of vendors call me or send me emails when I didn't specifically ask to be contacted. I also don't like it when they call or send me emails after I post about something my shop does that they feel could be done better with their product.

How can I influence VTS device allocation
Hello list, We have a TS7700 VTS in a grid Configuration, which consists of 2 TS7700 clusters each with its own tapeunits, coupled together as one VTS with two distributed libraries as seen by SMS. Since it is one VTS to SMS, SMS will select a random tapeunit from the total pool of devices. Normally this is no problem. However, if I want tot read statistics from each cluster's library manager, I must address a device from that specific cluster. Since SMS considers it one VTS, I have not been able to force my allocation to an address of the desired cluster. I tried a unitaddress, created generics for each cluster and used them, but no success. Cluster 0 has devices 0600-06FF, cluster 1 has devices 0700-07FF. How can I force an allocation to a device of the desired cluster? Thanks, Kees. ** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
