Hi list, I have a question on reading a non SMS-managed tape in a manual tape library defined as SMS managed.
Our environment is we have a TS3400 manual tape library with 2 TS1120 drives in it. This library is SMS defined because normally all we do with it is push our backups to it. I have an external tape - maintenance from IBM - that I want to read via our MTL, which are the only tape drives we have on the system. Is there some way of fooling/forcing the system to read this tape? I think the problem is that it's a unlabeled tape. I tried several different items with the following results: //SYSUT1 DD DSN=ESOINST,LABEL=(2,NL),UNIT=TS1120,DISP=OLD, // VOL=SER=B04301,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920) real tape library in the UNIT parm, real vol-ser, IEF343I RRPGENER S01COPY SYSUT1 - REQUEST FAILED - NOT ENOUGH NON-SYSTEM MANAGED VOLUMES ELIGIBLE //SYSUT1 DD DSN=ESOINST,LABEL=(2,NL),UNIT=TS1120,DISP=OLD, // VOL=SER=100001,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920) real tape library, fake to a vol-ser in my SMS vol-ser range IEF343I RRPGENER S01COPY SYSUT1 - REQUEST FAILED - NOT ENOUGH NON-SYSTEM MANAGED VOLUMES ELIGIBLE //SYSUT1 DD DSN=ESOINST,LABEL=(2,NL),UNIT=500,DISP=OLD, // VOL=SER=B04301,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920) try the actual address of tape drive instead of the library IEF120I RRPGENER S01COPY SYSUT1 ALLOCATION FAILED - A NON-LIBRARY REQUEST SPECIFIED A LIBRARY DEVICE 0500 I tried shutting down OAM and it made no difference. Any suggestions? TIA. Rex The information contained in this e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information and is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient.
