Jim,
I'm using Luminex at one of my customers for zVM and zVSE work. Under zVM,
it's mainly used for HiDRO backups and its worked fine. The only thing I
did was to 'initialize' the tapes HiDRO was going to use. That involved
writing a quick exec that just wrote a volser on the virtual tape.
I use the TAPELOAD module in my own execs for the operators to use. We've
been using it for over a year now with good results.
Give me a call if you have questions.

Subject: LUMINEX Channel Gateway
We have just installed a LUMINEX Channel Gateway. It comes with a strange
TAPELOAD module that seems to get tapes mounted, but it acts kind of
strange. Has anyone in VM land used this thing? Maybe I should say "this
software" because I've been told that LUMINEX makes S/W. Would DFSMSRM or
VMBACKUP work with it or am I going to have to cobble up some code to use
their TAPELOAD?
Jim
