This question is nominally directed to Richard Sims because it cites
his Quickfacts. But, other knowledgeable people are welcome and
encouraged to respond.

In the '3584' entry in "ADSM/TSM Quickfacts" it is said that, "The
3584 is a "SCSI library": the host has to direct its actions. If
you're accustomed to the 3494 and its automated actions, don't expect
anything like that in the 3584. As one customer said: The 3584 is
pretty much an automatic tape mounter with bulk storage and no real
'smarts'.

In the 'SCSI Library' entry it is said that, "The TSM server must
physically manage its actions, and must keep track of volume
locations. ...the work they don't do they shift to the host, and so
TSM is burdened with a lot of intricate SCSI element details and
control issues."

Do these entries describe current 3584 automation features,
especially vis-a-vis TSM?  If they do, how will TSM server
performance and administration change for the worse if we migrate
from 3494 technology to a 3584?
