Sorry, I know this is not directly mainframe related. But we have a problem that our tape librarian has dumped in our laps. We have an ATL with 3952 drives. We also have an VTS connected to this same ATL. Our backstore tapes are 3952s. This ATL is also used for our Distributed (Windows) systems. The tape librarian wants to relabel some "distributed" tapes to be VTS "backstore" tapes.
First question. Are VTS backstore tapes internally labelled? If so, what type of label? Second question. What would be the easiest way to "insert" these tapes into the z/OS managed portion of the library so that I could appropriately label them? Has anybody done this? IBM's initial suggestion is to get the tapes together and send them back to our original supplier and ask them to do the relabelling for us. I like this solution. However, it costs money. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
