If it's channel-attached, then the probability is exactly zero. TSM on Linux doesn't do channel-attached tape. If you had TSM on z/OS -- or even the old TSM on VM server -- you could drive it that way using DFSMS/VM RMM and use server-to-server migration to get the TSM servers to work together. I don't know of anyone using it via FCP attached tape. The generic SCSI changer commands don't seem to work very reliably; the only SCSI VTS I have access to seems to hang reliably when presented with SCSI changer commands. This makes the PTBs unhappy, so I've stopped trying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
