What’s a Manual Robot? Understanding System-Managed Tape
Tuesday, December 8th 2020 – 11:00 am ET
Modern virtual tape systems such as the Optica zVT and the EMC DLm use the DFSMS Storage Management Subsystem to manage virtual tape volumes and libraries. The SMS ‘manual’ tape library differs significantly from ‘automated’ tape libraries such as the IBM TS77xx series. Understanding the differences, and how tape metadata is stored in the three different major repositories (the tape management system, the system VOLCAT, and the device inventory) can be challenging. In this webinar, we’ll provide an overview of SMS tape management, along with the relationship between tape datasets, volumes, and libraries, and how tape devices are selected for volume mounting.

Attending a Webinar:

The DTS Webinars use GoTo Meeting™ software from Citrix Online, LLC. After registration, DTS will email you a meeting ID. Shortly before the scheduled DTS Webinar, you will receive an email with a unique link.

You do not need to pre-install any software prior to joining the meeting. The GoToMeeting web interface uses a Java Applet in your browser for the video portion of the meeting. A phone number will be provided for the audio stream. Note: You will participate as a guest of DTS Software – there is no cost to you or your company except for telephone charges.
