HSC/SMC was using TAPEREQ to control allocations, not SMS.SMC eliminates devices from the EDL when it know the tape is one of its own, but I'm not sure if that is before or after SMS gets involved. Either way, STORCLAS=DUPT@SMS should let you get at the STK tape in the ACS.

Re: STK SMC/HSC and SMS Tape
If SMS TCDB (aka VOLCAT) has a volume entry SMS111, the DD1 allocation with DISP=OLD goes to the SMS Tape Library even though SMC/HSC control data set has a volume entry SMS111 for the volume in the SILO. As you know, DISP=NEW allocation is controlled by SMS ACS routines you wrote. If you want to allocate the volume SMS111 on the SILO, you have to add STORCLAS=DUPT@SMS parameter in the DD1 DD JCL.

Re: STK SMC/HSC and SMS Tape
You will need to vary the disk volume offline before you can use the tape volume on the same LPAR.

STK SMC/HSC and SMS Tape
Hello, We have a customer that is doing some tape migration. They are currently using STK SMC manage their SILO. If we create a SMS Tape Library (MTL) and add a volume to it that is also in the SILO which unit will be picked by allocation? There is a statement in the SMC manual that says SMC will ignore SMS Managed Devices. It actually talks about SMS Dataset also. But while sms tape is a sms managed device I am not sure that a dataset that references a sms managed tape is a sms managed dataset? //DD1 DD UNIT=TAPE,DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=SMS111 If SMS111 is also in the SILO will SMC change the allocation to the SILO or leave it alone? Thanks for any help Tom -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
