I've watched this thread for quite sometime. I come from a small systems background, and did not have any exposure to tape libraries and VTS's. Now that I'm working for a larger company, I feel lost in regards to the whole VTS thing. I wish there was a z/OS VTS class that would start from the beginning and work its way up to advanced concepts like clustering and the subject that you guys have been talking about. Just saying.
