Is it possible to use a 3494 tape library in a second level VM
system?
We have a 1st level VM 5.2 system that I just recently installed
DFSMS/VM on as RMSONLY. And I successfully tested use of 3590 tape drive
s
that are in our 3494 library on our 1st level VM 5.2 system.
I also have a second level VM 5.4 system installed and have DFSMS/VM
installed on that as RMSONLY also. We would like to test out CA's
VM:Tape, VM:Backup, and VM:Operator on this second level system (user
vm54test). But I am unsure on how to use the 3494 library on the second
level system. Our tape devices controlled by this library are c00-c05.
I
varied c00 offline in our z/OS system (in a separate LPAR) and online in
VM 1st level (and left c01-c05 online in z/os and offline in z/VM 1st
level) and then issued:
att c00 vm54test c00
But when I try to start RMSMASTR on the second level vm54test system, I
get:
TAPE 0C00 ATTACHED TO RMSMASTR
0C00
FSMBAC2006E Library I/O error; reason code = 3800, request identifier =

e = 0C00, library

TAPE 0C00 DETACHED BY RMSMASTR
Is there something else that needs to be done other than attaching the
tape device to the second level system to get this to work?
