Re: Question about DFSMS/VM - RMS
I have observed that when a tape is loaded into the I/O station, upon trying to close the door, it will not close easily. Of course this may not stop some determined operator/whomever from closing the I/O station door. I have heard stories from CE's that, with MUCH effort, the door can be closed.

Re: Question about DFSMS/VM - RMS
You need the Service Machines DFSMS the Maintenance ID, and RMSMASTR at a Minimum to interface to the IBM Tape Library. IBM and Computer Associates (CA) offer Service Machines to manage tape Libraries, and Mounting tapes in the background for user requests.

Re: Question about DFSMS/VM - RMS
Yes. RMS and Tape Manager can both run as standalone products, or can be run together. I ran RMS by itself for a long time, relying on z/OS RMM to manage volumes in the library and simply used RMS to mount tapes in z/VM. Now I'm working at implementing Tape Manager in z/VM.
