David,
        I remember reading in this list group that using a VTS with TSM is a
very bad idea.   I believe the issue was TSM data on disk being moved to the
VSMs Disk (cache), overloading it.  I would suggest looking through the list
servers archives at http://search.adsm.org/

I have three TSM servers running TSM 4.1.4 on OS390/MVS 2.10. Currently
I write my onsite backups to dasd and then migrate the information to
tape (3490E 36 track) for my onsite backups.
My Storage Administer is wanting to move our onsite tape backups to a
VSM. Our VSM is an STK Virtual Tape Manager and we are running HSC 4.1.

We use SMS to control what datasets are selected to go to the VSM.
Currently my TSM tapes are 3490E and the VSM is configured to look like
a 3490 tape drive and 3490E tapes.

Can I just let SMS send the mounts to the VSM?

Has anyone done this?
