Re: Sharing the 3494 with OS/390 and AS/400

Bazuin-

I have *exactly* this combo.  Each platform must be careful to claim only
those tapes in insert category (ff00) which it owns.  For my Tivoli server
in  AIX, I have a script which runs hourly to find insert mode carts that
belong to Tivoli and generate batch LABEL LIBV commands.  In os/390 each
insert mode cart is checked against  the tape management software (we use
CA-1).  The as/400 has its' own volser range and only looks for those.  Not
all too difficult.

Hi *SM-ers,

We are going to share an 3494 library with three hosts; TSM, OS/390 and
OS/400. Therefor we will use different labelcategories to ensure we don't
use eachothers tapes. But in TSM, i think, it is easy for us to label tapes
wich belongs to one of the other hosts. That is not wat you want, but it is
possible. Therefor I like to know if it is possible to set somewhere
something like an mask so we are not able to label those tapes, even when
we
not use the 'volrange' option.

Thank in advance,
