We're running TSM on AIX, but we also have a mainframe on-site (shares
our 3494 for VTS use) that's unrelated to TSM.

We're looking at hacking a solution together.  The general plan is that
I'll create a pick list file and hand it off to one of our mainframe guys.
He's going to find a way to hook that data into TMS on the mainframe.

Until we get that working, we'll stick to our old method.  Each volume
that might potentially get sent offsite gets it's own dedicated rack slot
in the vault.  The pick list gets e-mailed to the staff at the vault site
and they can easily pull or place tapes.  Wastes a lot more space, but
it's easy enough to manage.
