TSM on S/390 works great here. We have good automation tools for message handling and staff to note messages that haven't been automated. We schedule lots of batch admin clients with the S/390 job scheduler that generate reports that are distributed thru the report distribution software. No performance problems here, except we do have to compete for tape drives...

The con I expect has to do with media movement to and from our offsite vault. On OS390 we have a vault management system that tells the ops what tapes to send offsite, tells the courier which slots to put them in, which slots to pull and bring back. On AIX, we don't have such a system. I'm also implementing a small TSM system on a small AIX network with a LTO tape library. What I notice there so far is that the 3584 takes more operator intervention then does the 3494. TSM on AIX requires me to reply to messages to tell the 3584 to look for carts in the i/o station; the 3494 with TSM on OS390 just detects that it has carts in the i/o station and files them.
