I found the statement below in the "IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape
Library with ALMS: Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0593-03)",
pages 69 and 70. This probably applies even if your library isn't
ALMS enabled but I can't prove it. The feature codes 1700 and 1701
are for "Enhanced Node Cards". I hope this helps - Rick.


  New base frame models L23 and L53 come with support for the embedded SMI-S
  Agent. Other frame models, however, require upgrades in order to support the
  embedded SMI-S Agent. The following table displays the frame models and
  required upgrades.

What is an "LM board" in the 3584?

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?
