I wasn't aware that VSE now supports native FCP adapters. If that is so, and if you are at that level of VSE, then the dual adapters at extra cost argument is moot.
I think "that level of either VSE or z/VM": if you have z/VM 5.1, you could present FCP devices to VSE as FBA, and it should Just Work.
I've put out the word that I want the the backing up of z/Linux in a normal mainframe world, solved. We use Dynam for the VSE world. I've asked CA for a z/Linux interface to Dynam. I've asked for a z/Linux interface for VMBACKUP (or any other decent backup product on a file level side).
How do you feel about Bacula? It can now write to ANSI or Standard Label tapes. It does file-level Linux backups. We've got some automation to let it talk to your (VM-driven) ATL, and there's work in progress to make Bacula able to really understand storage migration pools. Contact me or David off-list if you're interested in exploring this.
