I can't help with your question, but I'm really curious how the swap out
went.  Did it take as long as IBM thought it would?

Subject:        Now that I have a TS3500 - I have questions
Sent by:        "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU>



Our new TS3500 was installed this weekend (replacing our 17-year old 3494)
and I have lots of questions about how things should be done/configured
and
why it is doing what it is doing.

First off, the library is configured as 2-virtual librarys, each side with
fixed drive assignments and each side managed by a separate TSM server.

1.  Per other discussions, I configured 255 "Virtual IO".  We also
configured/enabled "Insert Notification". However, some tapes keep being
inserted "unassigned" while most are properly assigned to the right
library?.  Why?

2.  What is the proper CHECKIN command options for doing mass checkins
from
the IO/VIO slots?    SEARCH=BULK or SEARCH=YES - CHECKLABEL=YES or
CHECKLABEL=BARCODE?  The book says for a SCSI library you can't specify
SEARCH=YES and CHECKLABEL=NO....
