I'm new to this so I can't answer your question yet, but thanks for
responding and for the web reference. And by coincidence I also see
your DLM post about cloud too!

I may be wrong, but the DLm is more like a database for the tapes. There is no
storage on it. The needs to be another piece of equipment to provide the
storage for the actual tape usage.
I think you are asking can you use a storage device other than EMC equipment to
hold the actual tape data.
Is that correct?
If so, I have not seen any documentation that would indicate anything other than
EMC equipment can be used for the DLm for their actual tape data.
This link does not show anything other than EMC equipment. Currently, VMAX, VNX,
DD are the only devices I have seen that works with the DLm.

So, you are probably trying to see if anyone used something other than EMC
equipment with the DLm and was successful.

Is anyone using a Quantum (quantum.com) device to back up data from an EMC
DLM? (Disk Library for Mainframe - looks like tape to the mainframe)
