Hello,

I would have a question about IBM TS3500 tape library with ALMS, which already 
has the Virtual I/O feautre.
There are no logical libraries, one TSM library manager (on AIX) uses the whole 
library, and we would like to enable the virtual IO, because ~40 cartridges are 
checked in or checked out, with a 16 slot-I/O station. The library, drives, 
paths were defined in TSM with disabled virtual I/O.

When we would like to enable it,
- does it change the element map provided for the host (TSM) - and library must 
be redefined in TSM, or
- the library administers the virtual I/O slots transparently for the OS and 
TSM?

Does anyone experince with that?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Robert
