GREETINGS!
Subject: Central Tape Console

Hi Folks,

We are running VMManager on VM/ESA 1.2.1. We have four systems running
on an AMDAHL box tied to the same 32 tape drives (3480's). Currently,
we give the tape mount operators the information by use of a secondary
VMOPERATOR window using the CONSOLE parameter in the CONFIG file and
a DEDICATE statement in the OPERATOR directory.
We are running VMTAPE and STAM to control the allocation of the drives
across the four systems.
Is it possible with maybe the use of the HOST/NODE concept to combine
the current four consoles into one? Is this practical and useful to the
tape operators? If so, how would I go about reducing the traffic on
this combined console to just tape mount information and any HCP tape
error messages generated?

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Thanks, Ron ... Dial COMM: 235-3795 or (518)-385-3795
