My co-workers and I have been researching the possibility of migrating
our TSM server from OS/390 to mainframe Linux. We have found a number
of IBM conference presentations indicating that the mainframe Linux
TSM server supports only tape drives attached by means of the Fibre
Channel Protocol. On the face of it, this implies that ESCON-attached
3590 drives will not be supported. Is this a correct interpretation
of IBM's statements on device support?
