I am in the process of setting up a test environment for our Version 6 TSM servers. The servers run under zSeries Linux and are currently at the 6.2.2.0 level. The main motivation for setting up a test environment at this time is to support an upgrade in the near future.
Our production environment uses a TS3500 tape library with the ALMS feature. We will need tape infrastructure available to the test environment for some tests, but we do not wish to have any tape drives permanently attached to the test environment. Is it possible to have a logical library remain in existence with tape volumes assigned but with no tape drives assigned? Thomas Denier Thomas Jefferson University
