One of our customers who does not follow this list asked me to post a question here.
They are running SLES 10 SP1 in an instance on a FLEX-ES system. (Think of this as running in an LPAR on a normal system. That is, no zVM.) They have an ESCON connected 3590 that they can use from the Linux system with no problem, but apparently there is a 'special' device driver supplied for TSM 5.5 and when they install it, the driver apparently does not 'see' the tape device. They found a statement that TSM only supports "Fiber attached tape devices", but we're not sure if "Fiber" in this context includes ESCON or not and I can't see why TSM should care as long as Linux is happy with the device. Does anyone else have any experience with this combination (TSM 5.5 on SLES 10 with ESCON 3590) or possibly have any suggestions?? Thanks Mike C. M.
