List,
We're in the process of implementing some TS1120 tape drives on our z/OS system. These will sit next to our 3590s. I don't know if I'm missing something obvious or if there's something I need to do to make this work. Here's the situation - which I know many of you have already encountered and successfully navigated. The 3590 tape drives and the 3592/TS1120 drives share the same device type that of UNIT=3590 with an allocation device type of 78048083. I have set up esoterics to differentiate between the two. I use UNIT=MAGS to point to the 3590s and UNIT=TS1120 to point to them. This will work fine for differentiating on a new allocation, but what happens when I want to get at an existing dataset on a tape? With the same device type on both tape drives, I can see the system requesting a TS1120 drive to load a 3590 tape because the system doesn't know the difference. How do I differentiate between the two on an existing allocation? Thanks.
