After many years I have finally convinced management (or more
nearly accurately SOX and PCI have convinced them) that they might really
need ML2 tapes at the DR site in a Disaster. Swell. So now I try
implementing it. BUT COPYTAPE ML2 tries to copy my 359L ATL tapes to
3590-1 (non-ATL) volumes. 8700 string is my ATL, and 3400 is the 3590-1's

Now, I can get around this by using a special TAPECOPY command "
TAPECOPY MIGRATIONLEVEL2 A3590UNITNAME(TAPEA) " where TAPEA is my ATL
estoeric. But what worries me is that HSM uses 3590-1 as the default in
this case. All of my parms in my PARMLIB(ARCCMD00) use the TAPEA
estoeric. I have spent a couple of hours on the manual, and I have not
been able to find a SETSYS, or other cmd, which will change the default. I
notice that a LIST of my ML2 shows 3590-1 even though the tapes beginning
with "M" are all in the ATL.

So, now, I ask the experts.
1) Should I just use the A3590UNITNAME with tapecopy, or is there a way to
make it the default? Is there any downside to this.
2) In particular, I do NOT want to load my ML2 tapes into the ATL at the
DR site, and get them rejected because it wants a 3590-1 non-ATL instead.
This will be the first time trying ML2 tapes in the DR scenario.
