An FYI,

I was passed this link to the TSM website documenting the STK library
suport:

Thanks for the info about TSM 5.3.  I stand corrected.  

So many things to keep up with these days...

Gresham EDT was needed at TSM 5.2, TSM 5.3 supports access to STK
libraries via ACSLS/Library with code built into TSM. We have tested
shared ACSLS library support for lanfree backups on zLinux in the past
with success by using a library manager server on AIX. We are using HSC
on z/OS with Library Station but an ACSLS server should make no
difference. With TSM 5.3.2 the shared ACSLS library support should be
available on zLinux too, so it should be possible to use a zLinux only
solution.

In the next days/weeks we will test this function on a SLES9 s390x
system with 9840C FC drives built into a 9310 Powderhorn library. Steps
needed (may be incomplete): Configure the FC drives to zLinux. Configure
the TSM device drivers (/opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/mt.conf,lb.conf).
Configure TSM ACSLS support (/opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/rc.acs_ssi, set
ACSLS_SERVER_HOSTNAME). Define library to TSM. Define drives to TSM.
Define PATH's to TSM. Define device class and storage pool to TSM.
Define volumes to TSM.

To effectively use TSM on z/Linux with an STK 9310, you need an
additional piece of software called Enterprise Distributape,
sold/supported by Gresham Computing. Give them a call.

Has anybody done this?   I'm trying to configure our STK 9310 powderhorn
robotics to work with TSM running under Suse LE 9.   If you've down
this, I'd love to see some outline of where to start.   STK support
hasn't been too helpful with this venture.
