Alain,
Did you process the DUMPs ... or do you still have them to process
(likely in OPERATNS RDR)?
Open a PMR with IBM and they can help you figure out what the problem
is.

The only problem with using a tool like this is that while DFSMS/VM is
mounting the tape for you, the tape drive is attached to the RMSMASTR
virtual machine, not the requestor's virtual machine. The tape drive is
not attached to the requestor until the requested tape is loaded and the
drive is

But isn't that a bit dangerous ... for the requestor to be issuing tape
commands and/or CCWs to the attached tape drive while RMSMASTR is doing
its thing mounting the tape for the requestor?

Richard,
If you have CA's HiDRO ... you can use HiDRO's DUPLICATE function and
run up to 32 concurrent tasks from a single virtual machine.
Alternatively can also run HiDRO stand alone on the bare processor via
IPL from tape or CP PARM disk by selecting it as the nucleus to IPL
with.

Dave,
What level of z/VM are you running ... your DFSMS/VM software appears to
be back level. With the current SDO for DFSMS/VM installed, a DFSMSRM
QUERY LIBRARY DEVICE command will not generate a CP ATTACH/DETACH
sequence for the device on the RMSMASTR virtual machine.
I also see the device
Kludgy workaround ...
Can you correctly format one template pack ... then use HiDRO
DUPLICATE (or DDR) to clone the pack with the end result being that the
packs are pre-formatted for the z/Linux guests?

Alain,
There is: CP QUERY EDEVICE
But I'm not sure that will give you what you are looking for ...
Especially since you would have first had to have done a SET EDEVICE for
the LUN ... which would mean the devices are attached and active on
z/VM.

VSMSERVE is the RPC version of the SMAPI server and is still valid for
use on z/VM 5.3, for example with VM:Secure 2.8 (or DIRMAINT).
VSMREQIN, VSMREQIU, etc. are part of the new SMAPI server implementation
... the socket server. However, I wouldn't go there just yet ...

Well, I guess it depends on what Marcy is intending to do with SMAPI. I
made the assumption that she was asking the question relative to IBM
Director ... but I could obviously be wrong about that?
At this point in time, I don't believe there is a GA IBM Director that
supports the SMAPI socket
Alain,
I think the only way you could do this from z/VM (the mainframe) is if
the LUN DASD was configured as FBA devices ... if it's native Linux, I
think the only way it can be accessed on the mainframe is by dedicating
it to a z/Linux system.

I suspect it will say the tape is in the INSERT category ...
If so, you need to issue a
DFSMSRM SET VOLCAT VOL VM TARGETCAT SCRATCHn
Where SCRATCHn is the desired scratch category for your scratch tapes
... For example SCRATCH0.
