I can say that from an RS/6000 AIX server using a 3494-L12 (with 3590-B1A's)
that the restore db works JUST FINE !
You don't have to do anything funny...

Subject: 3494 and dsmserv restore db


Hi All,

     According to the doc., dsmserv restore db only supports manual and
scsi libraries.  Has anyone on this list restored a db via a 3590 drive
inside a 3494?  Since the 3494 is not libtype=scsi, I am thinking that I
will have to put my 3494 into pause or manual mode, and fake TSM into
thinking the 3590 is standalone, and then manually insert the dbbackup
volume into the correct drive.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
