This is a big announcement with a long name to go with it: IBM
Integrated
Removable Media Manager for the Enterprise on System z V1.1. Call
it IRMM
for short, and it's yet another expansion of the mainframe software
portfolio.
IRMM helps you manage both mainframe and non-mainframe tape media
from a
single point of control, relying on policies defined in DFSMSrmm.
Also
includes support for Tivoli Storage Manager servers and storage
agents.
It's a new product that breaks down the barriers between current
"islands"
of tape storage, and it should help make compliance with data
retention
policies much easier and more uniform. Available September 14, 2007.
Full announcement located here (watch the wrap):

Timothy:
Thanks for bringing that to our attention. While I am loath to read
an entire announcement from start to finish maybe someone with better
eyes saw (or did not see as the case may be) if there was any mention
of any GUIDE/SHARE requirements this met.
