Hi Tom, Good questions. My answers are below...
Are these DSFMSrmm tape catalogs? This catalog in question is an ICF Catalog containing entries for our tape datasets. (we do happen to be using rmm) Is there a shared tape library? No. Each system has it's own rmm control dataset. How much activity is anticipated? Significant -- during batch processing. Will both systems update the catalog? No. Just one system will be updating. The other one just needs read access. What are the availability requirements for these catalogs? 100% for the updating system. 99% for the read-only system. Will catalog entries be created, modified and deleted? Yes. How will you prevent both systems from creating or modifying the same entry? Since this catalog consists of only tapes, I hope the grid serializes the access to tapes (and hence catalog updates). But in practice, only one system will be updating the catalog. </PRE>This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
