I was the one that responded. Here are our definitions: Feature Value OFFLINE Yes DYNAMIC Yes LOCANY Yes LIBRARY No AUTOSWITCH Yes LIBRARY-ID 00001 LIBPORT-ID 01 MTL Yes SHARABLE Yes COMPACT Yes
But, we do have compact set to yes. And our devices are defined as 3490. EMC had us break the definitions into eight groups of 16. Each has a different LIBPORT. We have 1-4 and 11-14.

Really? The default is NOCOMP for 3480 and COMP for 3490 and 3590 and I don't know why you wouldn't want to set it in HCD, but most likely you have it set in DEVSUPxx anyway so it doesn't matter. >I don't know why we're still not using LOCANY.

I think even with IBM and other vendors virtual tape solutions you would set that to NO and I'm pretty sure even the HCD manual says to set it to no for an MTL. One of the first people that responded to your post said they had the same definitions as you so I didn't really check them closely. I wonder if they really have DLm in use with OAM and have SHAREABLE=YES.
