Re: CA-FAVER and LBI
I have contacted our FAVER guys, and they confirmed we do not support LBI yet. If you need this kind of support, please open an enhancement request so that Product Management are aware of it! Thanks.

Yes, from the manual: quote The FAVER2 Transparency uses the Large Block Interface (LBI) to read the | CA-FAVER2 tapes. LBI was introduced in OS/390 2.10 and is available in all levels | of z/OS. CA-FAVER2 is capable of writing tape blocks with a BLKSIZE of 64K, so | the DEVSUPxx member of your SYS1.PARMLIB should specify a TAPEBLKSZLIM | of at least 64K. /quote -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Accurate observation always trumps the book! Manuals can be wrong.
