It sounds like I have a requirement here. 1. I don't just want to turn off the ASSIGN bit, I want to know who turne d it on. That seems like a requirement for basic problem determination.
2. There is no QUERY command that shows ASSIGN status for a tape drive. I could automate running a QUERY everywhere, but I don't feel comfortable issuing an ATTA CH everywhere. (Or whatever the corresponding MVS command might be.) 3. I would prefer a command that told me which LPAR has the ASSIGN. I thi nk this is called "first failure data capture". 4. I don't know if the hardware will provide this information or not. If I write a requirement against z/VM, will it get passed on to the hardware folks? Or is there a way to issue a SHARE requirement against hardware?
