Re: ARC0103I when adding STK VSM to virtual tape esoteric.
That's what we will be doing, but since we are not converting this to STK for a while we were just trying to get all the esoterics in place. And we don't want to force JCL changes to the users. This brings me to my next question isn't there a way to only have tape units defined to the default esoterics in the IO gen eg 3490 all 3490 devices, 3590 all 3590 devices. And if you need to create other esoterics you can do so in SMS and not have to put it in the gen? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: ARC0103I when adding STK VSM to virtual tape esoteric.
Currently most of our HSM work is going to an IBM virtual tape system. We are in the process of migrating off of IBM and going to STK. To get a jump on this we decided we would add the STK Virtual Tape drives to the Esoteric that's currently used by for the IBM VTS. When we did this HSM Looking at the above, why not have a separate esoteric for the STK drives? HSM can know the difference. Set up STK for output, then do a mass recycle from the IBM side.

Re: ARC0103I when adding STK VSM to virtual tape esoteric.
These are virtual tapes we are talking about. You can't mix device types in the same esoteric defined to HSM. I've run into issues at DR with 9840A / 9840B mixture. Do you know what CDR (configuration data) returns? I think ShowMVS and MXI can tell you. I don't know what your IBM VTS emulates but STK VSM3 and STK VSM4 emulates 3490-B40 and control unit 3490-A20.

Re: ARC0103I when adding STK VSM to virtual tape esoteric.
The higher density cartridges are physically compatable with the two machines, But the data are recorded in an incompatable format. i.e. IBM cannot read STK and Vice-versa. I believe you will need more than on esoteric for this process. Try SETSYS USERUNITTABLE Currently most of our HSM work is going to an IBM virtual tape system.
