Russel,
can you clarify something for me please?
Your sig states that you support CA-1, and in your post you say that folks
running a tape management system (including CA-1) are safe, but you go on
to say that you have 2 clients (by deduction CA-1 customers?) who have
lost data as a result of this issue.
How did this occur?
I took a look at our SMS managed tape setup and see that we don't pass a
management class to tape datasets, and in fact the ACS routines set
management class to NULL so I guess we are safe anyhow.
Incidentally, the IBM Redbook Enterprise Tape A Practical Guide I have
says :
Since no management class attributes are available for tape cartridges,
defining management classes is optional and not recommended.
Regards,
Steve O.
