I wonder how it is possible to attach DASD- or TAPE-Devives via TCP/IP.
Consider NFS.
I guess I need to be more specific:
We currently consider moving from our current (shared) z/OS system to a
dedicated ADCD-System. From this system we have no access to a Tape (but
we need this for QA of our products).
So I wonder how (and how "hard") it would be to write some thing of
software that emulates a tape (and even better: a tape library) so we
can also migrate our datasets.
The emulated tape should be a bunch of files on a remote Server (Windows
or Unix).
My problem is that I don't have very deep z/OS knowledge. I'm not dumb
;-), so I guess I could learn the needed stuff (and I want! because I
want to understand the things behind the scenes better), but currently I
don't know how/where to start (which manual for example). I guess there
must be something like a ASM-Macro that "registeres" a device and the
piece of code that handles the commands (CCWs?) for the device. But as I
said already, I even don't know where to start....
bye,
Michael
