Learn JCL and batch scheduling.

Create linear VSAM files for all TSM pools. Each TSM pool file will be
limited to 4GB on a 3390 volume.
Forget everything you learn about TSM library manager, most mainframes
will have RMM or equivalent to manage the Tape library.
Cannot use LTO or DLT tape drives.
Can only use enterprise IBM or STK tape drives. Do not use VTS for tape
pool. 
Use the message automation package to your advantage.

Subject: TSM administration difference between z/OS and open systems

Hi,
How much mainframe knowledge is necessary for an experienced TSM admin
for
open systems to maintain TSM server for z/OS? I mean using Unix System
Services (USS) and the web-based administration center.

thanks so much
