In response to an open problem I am working on with the Support Center, It
was suggested that I dedicate tape drives to my ADSM server. I understand
why you do this on a non-System/390 server, but on MVS, this is not how my

1. Do you share tape drives with the rest of your MVS workload, or do you
dedicate tape drives to ADSM?
2. If you dedicate, how many drives do you give ADSM?
3. If you do not dedicate drives to ADSM, how high do you set the mount
limit in each DEVCLASS you have defined?
4. What type of drives do you use (3480, 3490, 3590, or something else?)
5. Do you use a robot? If so - which one?
6. If you have a robot, how many drives does it have?
7. How many tape drives do you have in total.
8. In round numbers, how much data do you back up each night?
9. Do you use the copypool features?

That's all.
That's all.
