That's no problem at all on OS/390!

ADSM is bahving like any other STC or BATCH-Job on an OS/390 (expect he
uses a little bit more Tapes...).

From the technical point it is implementetd the same way as DFSMShsm is.

Two things are the key points:

DEVCLASS

Communication with Tapemanagementsystem (rmm, ca1, etc...) Concerning
this take a look at DELETIONEXIT in the servers Optionfile.

Hi,

is it possible to share (eight) Magstar tape drives in one 3494 tape
library
between 4 ADSM servers (on OS/390)? Do I have to establish a server2server
connection. Or does anybody know a refering manual? Thanks for your help.

mfg / regards
