Hi Geoff,
Congratulations with the 3584 purchase
- I've from moved from 3494's to 3584's over the last few years and have
been very impressed with their performance and reliability (although I
confess that I still get all nostalgic seeing 3494's in customer machine
rooms though...)
They key difference between the two
classes of library is that communication between host and LM is inband
over SCSI or fibre, and not via an ethernet or serial connection. Your
'Atape' driver will take care of this, and (depending upon how many control
paths you have active) you'll see one or more /dev/smcx devices signifying
your library arm/manager connection...

I'll be receiving a 3584 this week and since I'm not
real familiar with how
that guy connects to the RS/6000 I was wondering if someone has setup
instructions that define this library to AIX. Our current 3494 is direct
serial attached and I'm curious if this is the same or not. If anyone has
saved steps to attach the unit to the server and define within AIX I would
truly appreciate any insight.
Thanks for the help,
