Hi Kelly,
We *tried* using CA-Unicenter's tms functions. ADSM totally ignores
Unicenter tape device controls. Besides that, implementing tape
controls the CA way for non adsm stuff was...well..ugly!
After a lengthy relearning curve, a more that sceptical view of ADSM's
incremental forever paradigm, and some VERY practical first hand
restores (done totally by developers with ADSM), we have abandoned any
efforts to supply 'mainframe like' tape control in AIX.
Regards,
Al

OK, I know that tape management within ADSM is "OK", but is anybody using
something more robust?
Thanks,
Kelly
