Re: 3590 tape drives

2014-07-16 Thread Nick Z
Kurt,
Hope you were able to find someone to maintain your 3590-B11's and A50 
controller.  If you did, would you mind sharing who you made arrangements with 
for continued HW support?

Earlier this year I upgraded my 3590-B11's and A50 controllers to 3590-E11's 
and A60 controllers as I was aware that IBM would no longer maintain B11's and 
A50's as of July 1, 2014.  I did so with thinking that the 'newer' models would 
continue to be maintained for at least a few more years as there are more 
E11/E1A and H11/H1A drives still in use, as opposed to B11 drives. 

Unfortunately, IBM Withdrawal Announcement 914-145, dated July 15, 2014, will 
require me to revisit the issue of HW maintenance support for my 3590-E11 
drives and A60 controllers.

914-145 states:
IBM will withdraw from its lease, rental, and maintenance agreements the machine
types and models listed below, effective January 31, 2015.  (Only 6 months 2 
weeks notice!)
3590-E11
3590-E1A
3590-H11
3590-H1A

Also, effective January 31, 2016:
3590-A60

All,

I have been told that I can swap 3590 E11 tape drives for my 3590 B11 tape 
drives and a 3590 A60 control unit for my 3590 A50 control unit with no changes 
and these devices would be supported. Has anyone done this and if so were there 
config changes required in control unit or elsewhere?\

In control unit (HCD, IODF) - no, elsewhere - yes.
RMM and other tape management systems do recognize the above change. You 
could also review DEVSUPxx and DFSMSHSM. The good news is old tapes will 
be read in new drives and you are not first who's going to perform such 
change.
The bad news is AFAIR old media have to be reinitialized to be written 
by new drives.

Re: 3590 tape drives

2014-04-30 Thread John Clifford
Greg,

  Sorry to bug you, but since I saw your name come across on the IBM-main,
I thought I could ask you for something. I had sent an e-mail to what I
hoped was your correct e-mail address. I had not heard anything so I am
trying this route.

   I remember a few years back you had created a REXX and Icetool job to
create a report from the SMF 119 subtype(02,03,72) records (I think). I
have been tasked with creating some kind of report like that for the state
of Oklahoma. I found how to get these records generated in the TCPIP
profile member. I have them selected off to a separate file but can't seem
to get a decent report as I don't know SAS. They want to have that column
showing 'jobname'.   I am wondering if you wouldn't mind sending me that
REXX/Icetool job in a .txt format to this e-mail (If you still have it).  I
would really appreciate it as it would save me several days work.

   Thanks in advance,

John Clifford

Seriously: consider the following approach: buy more 3590's. Additional 
controler(s) and drives. It would make any failuer much less critical = 
less restrictive SLA = better price.

In the olden days, what normally happened was the maint. fee would just go  
up until it became an albatross.
 
As upgrades were done, we managed to carve maint costs out of the

E05 is a TS1120/3592 not a 3590

3590 would be B1A, E1A

I can't find an announcement of End of Service for the 3590 and I just signed a 
1 year maint agreement with IBM for my 3590's.

 Hello,

 We have a couple of 3590 tape drives that IBM will apparently not
 support
soon. We
 are not in a position at this time to get rid of them. Is anyone still
using 3590's and if
 so do you have support via a 3rd party that you could recommend?

 We are located in Saint Louis Missouri. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Kurt
