Hi, *Smers

We have been bitten (HARD) by a tape drive going bad - it gave a write
error, but adsm carried on using it for many, many tapes.  A significant
percentage of these were then rendered unreadable.  We have recovered them
all, but it was a major job.

I have been considering running dsmserv as a ksh co-routine so that I can
trap a message such as ANR8302E containing the string OP=WRITE, and issue a
command to vary the affected drive offline until we can investigate.

Is anybody running dsmserv in this way?  Any problems or disadvantages?  It
<seems> ok on our test rig so far.

Tia
