Wayne, John has given you the basics. But I was curious. Why do you want to define the 3590's to SMS? Do you already have some inside an IBM robot and want to allocate some tape files to the outside drives (offsite backups for example)?

Would anyone be able to tell me the specifics of how to define the necessary SMS constructs SG,SC,DC to define and use one or two stand alone 3590 tape drives in SMS. The 3590 needs to get allocated preferably for a scratch request based on ACS datasetname filtering?
