Is your 3584 attached to VM FC or Ficon? From the other response I received from this post "If the 3584 Tape Library is managed by DFSMS/VM RMS on z/VM, then CA VM:Tape will interfac e with it via DFSMS/VM RMS" and the following statement I found in an IBM
Tape Manager manual "An automated tape library is supported by Tape Manager only if it is supported by RMS.", it sounds like no matter which tape manager product we use, the dependency is on what DFSMS/VM RMS on z/VM supports. So my additional question is.... Does anyone out there know if it is possible to use a tape library that is attached via FC with DFSMS/VM RMS on z/VM?
