It is what I understood from announcement, once tape drives will not connect
directly to z/OS channel but to VTS for destage.
VTS emulates 3490/3590 and can destage to any kind of tape, it is just a bunch
of bits to be recorded in tape.

attractive if the license allows it. ZD&T Personal at $5K/year is too expensive

ZDNT but still only a few hundred dollars would be attractive.
For about $5K per year I find Dallas to be a more attractive proposition. Real

Does the z/OSMF workflow support the following methodology:
1. There are multiple clones for each release, each with its own SMP and zFS
datasets
2. The naming convention for dlib and target volumes encapsulate a release and
a clone within the release
3. The naming convention for SMP and zFS
The devil is in the details. If the TOS allow you to build your own system,
then you should be able to do everything at Dallas that you can do on a ZD&T.
Whether that is an attractive option depends on the rates.
