Re: Alternative for VTL ?
IBM also offers many choices, notably IBM DS8880 and DS8900 Transparent Cloud Tiering with z/OS DFSMShsm and IBM Cloud Tape Connector for z/OS. Here are a couple Web links for further reading: https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248381.html https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/cloud-tape-connector-for-zos Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: Alternative for VTL ?
Jake, I use the Visara VI-5990 for multiple customers in my hosting environment. I am using it with OS/390, z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE. For z/OS (and OS/390) here is no software required on the host, nor is then any special CUU addresses for communication. Everything is handle via CCWs that IBM already issues wither using a tape manager (we use RMM) or even in a DR situation with no tape manager and just a minimum system. The web interface to the unit, which is seldom needed, is simple and easy for the operator. I switched from Secure Agent and am very glad that I did.
