Hello, I don't know if my previous reply went through so I'll post it:
Our VTS is B20 , 3952 drives. We tested backup to disk and from disk to tape but problem is amount of tapes that autochanger have to use. That why we would like to configure bigger tapes. can we emulate 3490e cartridges only in z/VM ? I know that in z/OS we can define bigger tapes with use of Data Class parameter. But how to configure it in z/VM?

Suggestion: define a disk pool with large volumes (5-10G) and do migration from disk to tape. Much more efficient. If you have FCP disk available, this is a great use for lower cost FCP disk pools. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nudzisz sie? Zadzwon do znajomych!
