Am I just getting more cranky as I age, or are IBM messages
getting ever more obtuse?
I just submitted a simple JCL error. Just put in a VOL=SER=XX
where XX is a volume we do not have in our shop. Should be a simple
error, with a simple IBM Message saying That VOLSER
Does this mean that those of us who bought z9s in the past two years are
already obsolete?
Only if you want to run z/VM 6.1 and higher.

p.s. Shouldn't implementation of x86 and above be just a different set of
millicode?
Dave Gibney
Such microcode would likely require a license from Intel and perhaps even AMD
(IIRC, Intel has licensed some of AMD's x86-64 functionality).
We will be migrating DFHSM 3590 native tapes from a 3494ATL/B18 Vts
environment to a new IBM TS7700. The 3590's will be recycled via HSM onto
virtual 3490E media type 2 volumes(4000MB) in the new VTS. My question is -
Is this feasible to take 3590(10GB uncomressed tapes) compressed data tapes

Sorry to take this thread on a side road so early but ...
Wayne, this may benefit you as you may decide to rethink using VTS.
I've see quite a few sites mention that they use VTS (or other virtuals) to
manage their ML2 volumes. Is this a realistic thing to do?
To perform a single dataset
If you have a virtual library you more than likely have an automated library.
Why would you say that?
The last two shops I worked at did not.
We had a couple of non-VTS drives for external tapes, but none were automated.
Why not simply use the automated library for ML2?
I think your concern
