Re: INZTAP V5R4 Oddity

That is seemingly odd. Over the life of the O/S support for many tape drives was done via PTF so missing PTFs had that affect. However 3580 and Ultrium2 drives were supported LONG before V5R4 ever hit the streets. The OTHER way that can be affected is if there is a prompt control program running which looks to see what tape drives you have on your system and only allows values for drives detected. Do you have an Ultrium drive on one system but not the other?

Got one box on V5R4 with a 3580 tape drive, the other is on V5R4 as well but
different PTF levels. On the inztap command one of the format density's to
select is *ULTRIUM2. On another machine the *ULTRIUM2 does not show up.
Any ideas. I have confirmed that the microcode levels are the same on
both tape drives.
