Saurabh, I believe that the PC attached to the 3494 (if you have a TCPIP link you can use that) to see about the storage on the device.
Then you could determine how many tapes you have placed in use vs. the number of tapes actually used. Your CE can assist with that Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of saurabh khandelwal Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 7:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fwd: 3494 Utilization Hello, Thanks for reply .
