I've been trying to figure this out myself and ended up posting to the TPC
forum on IBM Developerworks. Here's a reply I just got:




Hi. You're exactly on the money - a later LM board is required than the one
you've likely got in your library.

It's still possible to use an external linux box with the SMI-S code on it
though. ALternatively, it may be possible to get a replacement LM (but I'm
not sure if that would cost you or not).

It's not a very well understood thing, but I've been through that loop
myself.

Subject: 3584 SMI-S agent

I just upgraded the firmware on my 3584 tape library from 7xxx to 8900.
This firmware is suppose to supply support for an onboard SMI-S agent.  But
I still don't see the SMI-S option under the Access option on the 3584 web
interface.  Any idea what I have to do to get that option to show up?
