We are converting from STK to IBM virtual tape. Currently we put our SMF data from many LPARS onto virtual tape, each in its own LPAR
They are cataloged on their own LPAR and also run a job (DEFINE NONVSAM... VOL( ) UNIT( ) ) to catalog them all in the sysprog lpar so we can process the data from all locations in one place. Since moving the data to the IBM virtual the DEFINE NONVSAM works but when attempting to read the data instead of mounting virtual tape, the mounts are being directed to physical drives. Do we have to put an entry in the VOLCAT for the virtual tapes from the other LPARS? I know what I'm asking - I hope it makes sense to the rest of you.
