  Have a look at BVIR and VEHSTATS. These are part of the IBM TAPETOOLS

Of course it's not black magic, but if you mismatch the ID's you won't 
be able to use it.

And there is not check in HCD or during activation.

I think it is documented in a Redbook, but the part you called easy can be 
tricky.
For tape devices  you should provide LIBPORT ID and LIBRARY ID.
LIBRARY ID is defined by CE, but it can be also "composite ID" for grid 
configurations. LIBPORT ID is taken from the table.
Finally you add the devices to proper esoteric names and thats all of HCD.
Later you define libraries in the SMS.

I agree, I just finished it for our upgrade from TS7740 to TS7760.

However, if you are brandnew to tapelibraries, some help from IBM with the 
installation and setup is probably useful, e.g. with the updates you should 
apply to your ACS routines. We had some trouble discovering the "AFF=SMST" 
trick.

Hi,

I've just been informed that we're getting a brand new TS7760

We've never had any type of tape library. Before.

I've been trying to find the FIXCATS I need to explore in order to install the 
required fixes.

I've found IBM.Device.Tape.TS7700-3957.
Are there any FIXCATS I should be looking at, for SMS, or any other software.

We'll be using Control-T as out tape management system.

Thanks

Well OK, but then you probably don't have an IBM TS7760 unless you also
have a mainframe. :-) The TS7760 is a mainframe-attached VTS.

The answer is YES, you CAN share IBM TS7760 resources (and, if also
attached to the TS7760, IBM TS4500 tape libraries and IBM TS1150/TS1140
tape drives) with distributed platforms and with Linux on Z. You need z/OS
and some software (as described), both obviously obtainable, and you can
certainly do it. Many IBM TS7760 operators do, and it's a lovely
enterprise-wide solution approach -- very elegant.

In simple words NO. No, IBM VTS support mainframe (z/OS, VSE, VM) 
systems only.
What Timothy said is one can perform backup of distributed systems on 
mainframe tapes attached to z/OS. It could make sense when you altready 
have z/OS, but for non-mainframe shop it would be really ridiculous to 
use z/OS as backup server.

Can IBM TS7760 configured to virtualize tapes for Open Systems?

I assume you mean systems running Linux and Microsoft Windows, as examples.
Yes, I know a couple ways:

1. Using the software combination of IBM Spectrum Protect (on Linux,
Windows, and other supported platforms) and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for
z/OS Media (or more likely Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition for z/OS
Media) on z/OS. The IBM TSMzM program numbers are 5698-AAH and 5698-AAK,
respectively.

2. Using FDR/UPSTREAM software products from Innovation Data Processing.

In both cases z/OS remains "boss" and is responsible for writing to and
reading from the IBM TS7760. The software makes z/OS-managed storage
available to other platforms.

You can add IBM Cloud Tape Connector for z/OS into the mix if you'd like to
extend z/OS-managed virtual tape storage -- including the storage that
other platforms are consuming via either of the above software approaches
-- into on-premises and/or off-premises cloud storage services that are IBM
Cloud Object Storage and/or Amazon S3 compliant.

TS7760 Questions (Was: 7760)

2017-07-19 Thread Timothy Sipples
In reply to original question #3, look for the "copy export" function in
IBM's TS7760 documentation. You can also continue using whatever tape file
generation approaches you wish, if you wish -- for example, the AWSTAPE
Utilities from CBT Tape. The TS7760 is a virtual tape library, so anything
(and more) you can logically do with physical tapes -- for example, copy
them to AWSTAPE files -- you can do.
