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.

Thanks, Bobby Herring

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.

Yes.  :-)

Yes.  The devices are only allocated / in use by one LPAR at a time.  
AUTOSWITCH will switch it to another LPAR when needed.  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.

Regards,

Mark
