Frm the IOCSD point of view the 3494 drives are defined as normal tape
drives. The DFSMS RMS communicates over the channel connection with the
library. I wonder, if the CUADD=F0 is correct, because normally it starts
with CUADD=00. Here is an example of 3590 IOCDS.
CHPID PATH=(04),SHARED, *
PARTITION=((SAPPROD,SAPTEST),(SAPPROD,SAPTEST)), *
TYPE=CNC
CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=0400,PATH=(04),UNITADD=((00,016)),UNIT=3590
IODEVICE ADDRESS=(400,004),CUNUMBR=(0400),STADET=Y,UNIT=3590
The only thing you can reach with correct IOCDS is getting the devices
online and being able to attach the drives to a userid. Mounting tapes from
VM prerequisites a correctly defined DFSMS RMS.
Hope this helps
