Hi, I've a question on TS3500 with 4 x 3592 E06s installed. Just using ALMS and 
not TSM, is it possible to do the following?

We want to run the TS3500 as x4 ACLs. So partition the library xx tape slots 
per 3592. Then run a job & the library pick up the top slot, then move 
through each tape sequentially, stopping at last tape.

The system will be attached to our two principle linux login nodes for our HPC 
processing systems

The principle use for this system will be as autoloader for survey tapes,
each survey is probably around 100-120 tapes normally.

We would also put in place a load of scratch tapes so that we can output large 
datasets sequentially direct to tape from the application rather than to disk.

So really it would have up to 4 'libraries' working in principally sequential 
autoloader mode most of the time I think.
