I respectfully disagree. I found FCP-based LTO libraries better behaved than our old 3494. And before you ask, I do come from WDSF (aka ADSM V1) and ADSM V2 and originally bought the 3494 with 3590 for the purpose. The price of the extra CPU (and licenses) on z/OS will probably outweigh what you pay for a decent library. We currently run a two IFL TSM and I don't care to think what that would cost me on z/OS. We would have long ago lost the installation to our decentral server group. Best regards, Pieter Harder [email protected] tel +31-73-6837133 / +31-6-47272537 Brabant Water N.V.
