This should not be a problem. Of course there are some setup/configuration issues you need to perform to implement the 3494 TLS in Dynam/T VM (I suspect for CA-1 on z/OS too).
There are also some caveats, for example the OWNERID in the DSN definition indicates what RMS Scratch Category is to be used for the mount request.

Currently running CA-1 on z/OS and DYNAM/T VM with separate tape catalogs kept in sync with cross-system communications sharing 3490E & 3590 tape pools. Can we share common tape ranges in the 3494 TLS between these 2 systems ? If so how would this be accomplished? Thanks in advance, Jim P.
