With no coupling facility, you are limited to DASD-Only logstreams.
DASD-only logstreams *CAN NOT* be shared.
It is (IMO) not worth the effort to convert to logstreams for EREP when DASD
only.
EREP, these days, is pretty much limited to software records, and thus there is
limited value to a logs
In the logger policy, and IIRC, in LOGREC= in IEASYS00.

The first device to support "disconnect" was the 3330 which also connected to a

Prior to that IO in both directions tied up the entire path from CPU to device

The flow of a "typical" IO request:
Channel passes commands to 3830 and disconnects.

HSM is *VERY PICKY* about the actual DCB characteristics of the ODS.
If the ODS does not match what HSM expects, HSM gives up and produces nothing.
I don’t remember what DCB characteristics are required, but it must be
documented somewhere.

,I'll try it out. The only drawback is that I will be using more than 1
tape to backup the dsns.In your example I will be using 2 tapes.

Presuming this is an HFS, (and based on the supplied dsn) I believe you are
correct.
If this is a mis-named ZFS, IIRC it can span volumes.

This will require unload/delete/allocate/reload of the original dataset. I
presume you mean either Extended Addressability or Extended Format.
In either case, these are attributes of the DATACLAS which can only be modified
at dataset allocation time.
