GUI under section Cartridges allows one to select cartridge in Library and
move it to a specific slot, the slot can be any of the cartridge drives in the

Excellent. And, since this is z/OS 2.2 it should work fine... :-\

How about a virtual training aid that has Tape Gui and Internal Library

Perhaps not, but that's what they do. Don't worry, I won't send the same

Maybe manually mount the Stand Alone Restore tape the first time.
Leave one Stand Alone DASD volume up and erase everything else after exercises?
Refresh by restoring to another volume then IPLing from it?
