We just migrated off the Luminex solution to EMC/BusTech MDL. While on
Luminex, we never had any issues with SPXTAPE or SPTAPE for that matter.

Jim,
I'm using a Luminex tape server with zVM 5.3 and I just used SPXTAPE to
dump a user's RDR to tape.
I attached a Luminex drive to my userid as 181, did a tapeload command to
mount a volume (I could have used the GUI to do that too), and used this
version of the command:
spxtape dump 181 user xxxxxxxx rdr all rewind
You may just have to mount a volser before you start.
We have Luminex vtape. The Luminex code provides tape support emulating
IBM 3590 drives with the actual hardware being on Sun dasd. Everything
seems to work with the exception of SPXTAPE. Does anyone else have
Luminex vtape? Has anyone found anything that does not work?
Jim
