Thanks David,    IBM or anyone, does ADSM support the ACSLS attachment?

Julie-
the only way to communicate to an STK silo that is shared with a
mainframe is via their ACSLS, which is a control station for the silo.
The ACSLS manages the requests for mounts of tapes from the various
sources, mainframe, Legato Networker and Veritas NetBackup to name a
few.  If ADSM will support the ACSLS attachment, it should work as well.
