The catalog can then be either of the following: - a catalog on VM managed by Tape Manager (if you want VM to have its own catalog), or - the RMM catalog on z/OS (if you want to use RMM as both your z/OS and z/VM tape catalog.) In this configuration, Tape Manager will communicate with RMM on z/OS for catalog related requests, then communicate with RMS on VM for device interaction. Tracy Dean, IBM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
