Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, is for integrating magnetic tape storage with a distributed disk file system. The computer-implemented method includes: registering for a subset of data operations that are recorded at a central location, where the central location is coupled to a plurality of distributed accessor nodes. A subset of available resources in one or more magnetic tape libraries that are coupled to the plurality of distributed accessor nodes are registered for and further managed. Moreover, a performance of the subset of data operations using the registered subset of available resources is scheduled. Supplemental data operations which correspond to the subset of data operations are also automatically received from the central location.
