When IBM adds a frame to our existing library they ask for 2 hours. When
we
once moved our library (complete disassembly/reassembly) the disassembly
went
fast, but assembly took that 2hr/frame, and that didn't involve
removing/inserting tapes
(they moved the frames with the tapes still inside). The 24 hours
doesn't sound that far off.
A thing to think about . . . electrical work: are you reusing the power
lines from
the 3494? Are the plugs/sockets the same?

As you are aware from previous posts, we are heading into a "deinstall
3494
- install 3584". This is a pull-push since we don't have the floor
space/power to run both.
We met with Mainline/IBM yesterday and concerns were raised about the time
slot being allotted to this project - roughly 24-hours and if needed,
48-hours. The comment from the IBM SE/FE was they usually allow a week
for
an install/burn-in of a 3584. Originally, the Mainline (sales) person
threw out 8-hours for deinstall of the 3494 (this is for scrap/parts - no
care taken in how it is taken apart and removed) and 8-hours for the 3584
install.
So, I am looking for experiences on how long it took for you to get your
3584 installed and what, if any, issues there were.
We are removing a 12-frame 3494 and pushing in a 7-frame TS3500/3584
(1-L23
6-D23)
