Werner, It would help to know your issue.
Are you an HSMPLEX, a SYSPLEX a MONOPLEX? What is your OS? z/OS V1.7??? What type of robots do you use ATL, VTS, STK, EMC? Why are you varying the drives on/offline? How is HSM holding them? Does HSM hold onto your tape drives during one type of process? Migration, Backup, Dump, Recall? HSM during MIGRATION, RECALL, BACKUP, processes will require a mount of a tape if it is setup that way. Typically HSM only requests a Tape Drive when it needs it. It does not have a pre allocation process for drives and then just hangs onto them. Can you help me understand your problem better? Does HSM HOLD ONTO THE TAPE when one of these processes completes? Are you short on Tape drives and so trying to manually control how HSM uses them? More details will be helpful to me.
