Re: DFSMS/RMM Tape Copy/Stack
Bob, HSM and OAM and some other applications provide their own ways to copy their data to new volumes. For the remaining data, a tape copy/stacking tool is required. There are many available on the market, including one from IBM. Look at IBM Tivoli Tape Optimzer. http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/tape-optimizer-zos/ Depending on your customers current licensing agreements with IBM this may be the best option.

Re: DFSMS/RMM Tape Copy/Stack
Take a look at Tape/Copy from OpenTech Systems it is very easy to use and keeps your tape metadata intact. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Radoslaw Skorupka Sent: 09 March 2007 08:02 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: DFSMS/RMM Tape Copy/Stack On Thu, 8 Mar 2007 14:32:45 -0500, Robert Fake wrote: >I have a customer who is interested in copying several thousand tapes to new >tapes.

You can buy/lease some product to do it, do it manually, or maybe find something on CBT. HSM data can be easily moved on new media: use RECYCLE.

DFSMS/RMM Tape Copy/Stack
Hi, I've searched the IBM-MAIN archives, but could find an answer to my question there. I have a customer who is interested in copying several thousand tapes to new tapes. They are an RMM TMS. Does DFSMS/RMM have a tape copy/stack capability? Any other thoughts? Client doesn't want to purchase any other software. Thanks for your help. Bob Robert B.
