Pieter, We have 6 3592s that are FICON-attached, and all the tape units (3490, VTS/3590, 3592) are housed in an IBM 3494 Tape Library Data Server that is shared by one MVS and two VM partitions. Tape management on VM is done via VM:Tape and the RMS utility of DFSMS. BrightStor Backup is a work in progress: their driver modules did not work right out of the box with the 3592s or VTS, but they do now. The goal here is to provide lights-out enterprise-wide backup using a Linux/390 instance and the automated tape library.

FCP of Ficon? Are they in a library of any sort or are they manually operated? You mention BrightStor Enterprise/ARCserve Backup, I assume you use them with that. What are you using for tape management? Also a CA product?

I think the answer is no, but I need confirmation of this. Thanks.
