You can attach it to your Windows server, or
Linux (x64), but mainframe
is excluded, no FICON attachment.
I think you might have missed the last 10+ years. :-)
IBM has not shipped *any* IBM tape *drives* that attach to mainframes using
FICON for many, many years now. Even the non-virtualized tape controllers,
which did attach to mainframes via FICON (thence to IBM tape drives via
FCP), are now historical. The last model in the IBM non-virtualized tape
controller line was the IBM 3592-C07, which is still IBM supported but no
longer marketed.
Semantics. It was still mainframe-attached tape drive. MVS device was
the real device, MVS volume was real tape cart.
You should know that mainframe I/O is MVS-channel-CU-DEV. And CU is the
controller. It has always been here. And the connection between CU and
DEVice can be any type, including FC.
2. Through IBM TS7700 series virtual tape libraries, which can be
optionally "backed" with tape libraries and tape drives, *currently* IBM
TS4500 libraries with IBM TS1150 drives (or prior).
Currently? What about TS1155? Is is still "currently" not supported as
VTS backend? How many years it is?
I think IBM finally will add TS1160 support to VTS. Maybe...
