Hi Gary,

 We are running TSM 3.7.4 on OS/390 2.10 with RMM and haven't had any major
issues. Our tape media is Storage Teks 9840's and our biggest issue is with
the Storage Tek HSC and RMM software. HSC has a setting that won't allow
tapes to be used if they have a certain number of temporary errors or if
they receive 1 permanent error. We have had to use StorageTeks new Tapecert
program to verify the tapes and once they are "Certified" we delete them
and re add them to RMM to remove the perm errors.

 All in all no major issues.

Let me know if you have questions.

Anyone out there using tsm v3.7 or 4.1 on os/390 using rmm as the tape
manager?  I would like to here your experiences, good or bad.  Thanks.
