I am forking this particular item because mostly, my deep dark subconscious floated a question up to my rational mind, and I have decided to ask it here...
What would it take to allow/have/make z/Linux cooperate in a parallel sysplex environment, so that tape devices in use by os/390, could also be used by Linux without having to vary devices off-line to z/OS to use on z/Linux and vice versa. I know this is a nontrivial undertaking, I'm just wondering if it would be useful to provide parallel sysplex participation for tape devices in a mixed bag environment.
