As I understand it, ALMS IS required if you implement Encryption
for LTO4 tapes/drives on a 3584 library, is that true?

We have a couple of 3584s with ALMS, and though we use TSM to share the
library among 9 TSM instances, I still find the VIO features of the 3584 to
be handy. Having up to 255 virtual I/O slots can be nice when adding tapes
to the library. When switching from one generation of drives and media to
another, it is nice to be able to flexibly shift slots from the older
generation to the new one. Overall, the virtualization of the library is a
very nice thing. Is is required? No, not at all. But it's nice!
