I have been able to get access to our new 3592-E05 tape drives and want t o begin functional testing. I will not be testing them as ENCRYPTING tape drives due to non-technical issues. But we want to try mounting a tape an d running DDR to see if we can at least write and read the tapes. I have RMSMASTR configured to know about this new library and can get RMSMASTR t o give me an inventory of the complete library. We have several tapes inser ted but all are in 'INSERT' category. My z/OS co-worker has not been able to find an appropriate category value for these new tapes. I do not remember
what the hex value was for our other 3590 (20GB) tapes, but I have a nic e 'SCRATCH4' category for them. I would like a similar 'SCRATCHx' category for these 3592 tapes. We are at z/VM 5.3 service level 0701. /Thomas Kern /U.S. Department of Energy /301-903-2211 (O) /301-905-6427 (M)
