Re: [ADSM-L] Equating current 3494 configuration to TS3500

Thank you both for the kind words; I think it's just a matter of surviving long
enough to have all the battle scars - BTDTGTTS.
In the interest of completeness, here's one other thing that is different from
the 3494:
When you create your logical libraries, modify the "maximum VIO cartridges"
setting.
I believe the default is still 16.
AFAIK, with a 3494 you can just keep stuffing cartridges in the I/O door, and
it will keep filing them away with an INSERT category code.
In the TS3500 w/ALMS, you put cartridges in the physical I/O door, and the
library puts them into the "virtual" I/O door of the appropriate library
partition. But if you put more through the physical door than the library has
virtual I/O slots (before you do a checkin and clear the virtual I/O slots),
weirdness will ensue. Your checkin will not "see" the extra cartridges.
I don't' know of any reason not to set the "maximum VIO cartridges" to the max
setting, which I think is 255. Somebody else might have a better idea if there
is a downside to that.

Thanks for all the responses - it has been immensely educational and I have
much less trepidation about the upcoming
unload-pull-out-3494-push-in-reload-3584 weekend. I am going to miss my
3494 - been using it since 1995!
I agree that Wanda has some of the best documentation/experiences with TSM,
et-al - she should be writing for IBM/Redbooks!
