Re: Tape drive types?

[Dave Jones]

Nick, you might try using Kris Buelen's QDEVS exec. It uses the XASTOR 
package off of the VM download page at IBM, and returns a lot of info on 
the real devices attached to your VM system, including tape drives from 
the old 3420 to the new 3590 drives.

Has anyone mapped out the values to tape drives types returned by "Q cuu

tapes? (Yes, Herndon, I'm looking in your direction.)

I'm trying to come up with a better way of handling tape drives at a DR 
site, but I figure they have a lot of types of tape drives I don't 
normally see, and I'd like to know when to charge forward and when to 
send up red flags when trying to get up and running at a DR site.

Thanks,
Nick
