Re: Sources for learing about state of the art Mainframe Virtual and physical tape?
Hi Peter, I hope you will be learning, not learing. ;-) Lizette provided a good list of options. Additional virtual options include: IBM TS7740, VTFM Oracle VSM, VLE Since the subject included physical tape, IBM TS1140 Oracle T1D, 9840D Russell's presentation is a good source. Bear in mind that it's 3 1/2 years old (maybe he has updated it since then). So some things have changed, in particular Bus-Tech was bought by EMC over 3 years ago. HTH.

Newbie open systems backup admin. here being thrown into mainframe storage. We have some very old VTS systems and I'm looking for credible education / journals on state of the art in mainframe tape (VTS) storage. Anyone have any reccomendations of online or print journals, trade magazines, blogs?

The easiest would be to go to vendor sites to see what they support. Current offerings I know about are from IBM TS7720 EMC DLm Tape solutions Hitachi Fujitsu Luminex Then there is also software tapeless solutions CA VTAPE Or you can search the internet for Virtual Tapes and Mainframe or Tapeless Mainframes Also, if your company is a member of Share.org then you can search the archives for presentations on tapeless solutions for the mainframe Lizette -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Peter Smith Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 8:52 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Sources for learing about state of the art Mainframe Virtual and physical tape?

One other solution I forgot is to expand the storage array and eliminate tape by keeping everything on DASD. Not sure what your shop is looking to do, but these are some options.

Also this share presentation by Russell Witt could be helpful http://www.share.org/p/do/sd/topic=50sid=1042 The title of the presentation is Tape Virtualization Options You can also use that in an internet search to find a lot more articles on virtual tape and mainframes.

Correct, I mentioned in a previous post that you had to be a member of SHARE.org for their presentations. Though some presentations are in the public arena. But you would need to do an internet search to find them. If you are a member of Share.org, you can search the archives.
