If you have drives that support Ks then you can mix Js and Ks. You don't need to tell TSM. It will just use which ever the library mounts in response to a scratch request. If you want to control what data goes on Js and which on Ks, then (unless you're running on zOS) you have to predefine either the Js of the Ks (define volume) to a storage pool. David
