I've run both together, but never with duplicate volsers.  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.

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.
(If SMS TCDB has the volume entry SMS111)

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

2012-06-02 Thread Tom Williamson
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
