We have a Storage Tek library that is shared between Unix and z/OS. The
device controlling the library is a Sun server running a piece of
software called ACSLS which receives commands over our IP network. The
mainframe software component that issues the commands to ACSLS is called
CSC.

We once had a StorageTek 9360, on which you could get a feature to have
robotics control commands sent over IP instead of 3270 coax (we didn't buy
it, but the feature was available). Then our lease was up, and we ended
up with 9740 LMUs which only use 3270 connections. Now that we would like
to get rid of our 3x74s (we use ICCs for consoles), these LMUs are a
sticking point.
As far as I know, the new SL8500 has an IP interface (having quite a few
9840 cartridges, it will be easier to stick with STK I think) - however on
the Sun site it doesn't even say that box is compatible with z/OS or z/VM
(probably an error?).
Anyone know of other ways around this on current hardware? Maybe some sort
of ICC interface which routes out a coax instead of TN3270E (remember,
once upon a time 9370 CPUs had an inegrated 3x74 controller so this is not
too far-fetched)? Barring that, can anyone verify they are running SL8500s
with z/OS?
Thanks
