One of the things I've considered, but haven't had the time to try yet.... We are a VM/VSE shop, with Linux on the IFL. On the VSE side, our IP stack is from CSI. And they seem to allow us to FTP to/from a tape. The questions are:
1. When FTPing to a tape drive, can I drive the tape drive without excessive shoe shining? i.e. get any decent performance out of it? But then, at times, I'm not sure I care about performance, if it fits within the batch window. 2. With all the translation going on, when I ftp the tape file back to Linux disk, will it still be in the proper format (i.e. block size, recfm, or whatever it looks like on a Linux file system). Something for me to work on in June.... er...July... Ok August...
