Thanks.
I tried this and it does not seem to give me what I need. I think the
key item is that I am sharing tape drives outside of the sysplex, with
non-participating systems. (Forced because these are not z/OS systems I
am sharing with.)
Still googling for a workable solution.

Autoswitch. In z/OS the commands a v xxx,as,on or v xxx,as,off
I believe there is an IODF option to make the drives switchable.

Subject: tape drive RESERVE/RELEASE
Is there some option in RMM or the IODEF to have z/OS issue RESERVE/RELEASE
commands to the tape drives?
We share some tape drives between z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE. z/VM and z/VSE
automatically reserve/release the drives as needed, but z/OS (with RMM) does
not. I have to issue a VARY OFFLINE/ONLINE to release/reserve the drives.
