Tape drives and tapes

Starting with Independent Software Vendor (ISV) IBM Z Program Development Tool (IBM zPDT) (ISV zPDT) GA10, general SCSI tape drives are no longer “officially” supported. Only Fibre Channel-connected 3590 drives are supported. However, the awsscsi device manager from earlier ISV zPDT releases continues to be distributed as is. You can continue to use it, but IBM cannot address problems with general SCSI tape drives. The awstape device manager remains a standard part of ISV zPDT.
