Yes, but he's OS/390. TSM on OS/390 does not control tape volume movement. That is handled by the tape management system installed on OS/390, like CA-1, CA-TLMS, or IBM's DfsmsRMM. Also on OS/390 there is no library or drives defined. You define up the DEVCLASS with a unit name parameter of the device type that OS/390 allocation will give you.
He's also running a STK library, which has it's own tape management software (HSC). Bill Boyer DSS, Inc.
