Alan, If you are using a single volcat and shared by all the systems, you may need to sync the TMC on that system. If you have a single volcat per system, then yes, you would need to create entries for the virtual tape in question and treat them as foreign tapes.
Hope that helps, Claude Claude Richbourg Florida Department of Corrections Systems Programmer III 850-921-1383 -----Original Message----- >From: "Field, Alan C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Aug 22, 2007 9:51 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Recataloging IBM virtual tapes > >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...
