These are virtual tapes we are talking about. You can't mix device types in the same esoteric defined to HSM. I've run into issues at DR with 9840A / 9840B mixture. Do you know what CDR (configuration data) returns? I think ShowMVS and MXI can tell you.
I don't know what your IBM VTS emulates but STK VSM3 and STK VSM4 emulates 3490-B40 and control unit 3490-A20.
