I would certainly be interested to hear of any solution for Linux that
would let it participate in the silo environment. I think what you'll find
is that you'll have to use an archival system, such as Tivoli or the
equivalent, to backup the data and the achival system then interface with
the silo.
If you've noticed in the thread on tapes, Linux is not quite up to snuff as
far as tape handling is concerned. The silos are driven by software on the
hosts in some fashion or another.

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
We're exploring the possibility of an IFL on the Z800 which we'd
like to move our existing file/print servers to...

" We're in the process of upgrading our tape storage (many 3480's, I

was a VSM/SILO which was vastly more expensive then the VTS/ATL. STK is now
putting together a VSM/9740 proposal. Has anyone had any experiences with
the VSM/9740 and if so will it perform up to the VTS/ATL. "
And just how does Linux play into this scenario?
