And now I've learned what BTDTGTTS stands for. My education for the day. Thanks 
Wanda.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Equating current 3494 configuration to TS3500 Thank you 
both for the kind words; I think it's just a matter of surviving long enough to 
have all the battle scars - BTDTGTTS.

In the interest of completeness, here's one other thing that is different from 
the 3494:
When you create your logical libraries, modify the "maximum VIO cartridges" 
setting.
I believe the default is still 16.

AFAIK, with a 3494 you can just keep stuffing cartridges in the I/O door, and 
it will keep filing them away with an INSERT category code.

In the TS3500 w/ALMS, you put cartridges in the physical I/O door, and the 
library puts them into the "virtual" I/O door of the appropriate library 
partition. But if you put more through the physical door than the library has 
virtual I/O slots (before you do a checkin and clear the virtual I/O slots), 
weirdness will ensue.  Your checkin will not "see" the extra cartridges.

I don't' know of any reason not to set the "maximum VIO cartridges" to the max 
setting, which I think is 255.  Somebody else might have a better idea if there 
is a downside to that.

Thanks for all the responses - it has been immensely educational and I have 
much less trepidation about the upcoming
unload-pull-out-3494-push-in-reload-3584 weekend. I am going to miss my
3494 - been using it since 1995!

I agree that Wanda has some of the best documentation/experiences with TSM, 
et-al - she should be writing for IBM/Redbooks!
