I believe you need a separate z/OS unitname for drives that are not in
the 3494.  Your z/OS operating system needs to know the difference to
be able to force the allocation to the standalone 3590s.  There may also
need to be a modification to your SMS DATACLASS routine.

_________________________________Top_of_Message_________________________________

Origianlly had 2 3590-1 tape drives in 3494 tape subsystem, all was fine
We added 2 stanadalone 3590 tape drives . The origianal and new drives
are both UNIT=3590-1

Both my primary storage and copy storage pools use a DEVCLASS with =
UNIT=3590-1

When I copy a primary storage pool to a copy storage pool I get a Z/OS =
message IKJ56241I

ANR0984I Process 12 for BACKUP STORAGE POOL started in the BACKGROUND at =

IEC501A M 0911,A00310,SL,COMP,ADSM,ADSM,NETWARE.BFS                      =


Since both the tape subsystem and standalone 3590s are both 3590-1
how can I force TSM to use the tape subsystem tape units
