Leonard,
I had a similar problem here. I am running the adsm server on AIX and I did
have an aix client running in -MOUNT mode for the operators, but the
console was silent (no beeps etc). Operators would often miss a message to
mount a tape causing havoc.
I solved the problem by using our existing MVS automation packakge called
AUTOM8XC (from Legent, now Computer Associates). This product runs on an OS/2
PC and is the central message router for MVS,VM,VSE,VMS,VTAM,CICS etc here. I
just run a telnet on this pc, the Ops analyst define what messages to pick up
and now mount messages for ADSM ring merrily on the autom8xc console - annoying
the operators into action and making them mount tapes !.
Hope this helps you a little.
Best Regards,
Peter Zutenis.
