It isn't a question of what's common, we are just trying to make sure that
either will do the job in a shop as large as ours.  Just want to make the
best choice for our environment.  From the replies I've seen either one
will do the job we need.  Which brings me to my next question, as our
training with RMM has been RTFM only I would like to know if there are any
training classes offered or possibly something at Share for RMM training.

The STK implementation is already in place, and we are very pleased with 
it.

Hi John,
 not sure what you are asking for, or your definition of large for 
that matter, but

Between 1998-2003 where I worked we shared STK silos between LPARs, most 
of which ran TLMS but one of which ran RMM. 
We also had another site that had STK silos and ran CA-1.

AFAIK, those workloads have since been consolidated onto a single site 
sharing STK silos between LPARs and they are still running all 3 TMS 
packages - RMM, TLMS and CA-1.  

Now, it is all IBM (RMM and 3494s) here.

I don't recall having any issues with the STK silos that were specific to 
any one of the TMS packages.

I'm trying to get an answer as to how many shops are using STK silos and
have also implmented RMM?  Currently we are a mixed shop and using both
IBM and STK with our direction being all STK.  We also have 2 tape
management systems RMM and CA-1 with RMM being used on the largest
systems, and STK implemented on these first.



John,

I've seen both CA-1 and RMM effectively used with STK silos, so I can't give 
you a feel for what's more common.  I think you're bucking the trend going 
with STK since I've seen more IBM installs lately.  My current client is 
replacing 9840 drives with the 3592 with encryption.


Regards,
Tom Conley
