After reading all the related appends about this I would think many would still be confused about OAM.
The specific message is related to OAM 'object tape support'. This is nothing to do with OAM system managed tape library support. Try this EA session which explains more http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/stgv1r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.iea.zos/zos/1.0/DFSMS/V1R0-General-OAMSupport/player.html OAM provides 2 main functions - tape library support, and Object support. You can exploit one without the other. If using Objects, you can optionally use its Object tape support to store objects on tape. Only worry about this message if you are using the Object support and want to store some of the objects on tape.
