Hi Bob,
Whenever Ive done DR and I have tested with a lot of customers and
invoked in anger on two previous occasions, at SunGard the Tape Hardware
(E.g. 9310 ATL and 9840C Drives) has never been the same as at the Primary
Data Centre location, but its been good enough for DR. So generally we

Below are the error messages I got each time I swapped the tape to a different
9840C drive.
I finally gave up. I am
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the update and something more to look at
.
Hmmm, we have an IOE (I/O Error) and Read Error Detected which I suppose
is not that surprising and the possible scenarios would seem to be listed

Best I can guess is that the 9840C is not driving the required hardware
commands for processing this media, which from your commentary seems to
require 3590 emulation mode.
Do you have mixed use of native, 9840B, 3590 and 3490E for the 9840C and so
sometimes you swap to a compatible drive, but

Hi Bob,
Good for you that you built a replacement MVS system at your DR location.
I agree with Marks comments and absolutely there is backwards
compatibility for 9840x type drives. Generally this is the case for IBM
Mainframe tape drives and only when the drive format changes is backwards
