You can use the optical library alter option to alter the attributes
of an existing optical library. Altering a library results in updating
the library definition within the specified SCDS and the attributes
stored in the OAM configuration database. The alter option is available
only when the OAM address space is NOT active.
You can modify an optical library to change its definition in the
OAM configuration database by using the 3995 LIBRARY ALTER panel, Figure 1 and Figure 2. To modify an optical library,
start from the Library Application Selection panel, shown in Figure 3, and specify the name of the SCDS containing the optical
library you want to change. Specify the optical library name and select
option 4, ALTER. ISMF displays the appropriate library alter
panel.

The following fields can be modified on the 3995 Library Alter
panel (Page 1 of 2) to alter the 3995 library definition in the specified
SCDS and in the OAM configuration database for LIBRARY1.
- MODEL NUMBER
- Indicates the model number of the optical library. You can only
change this field for 3995-1xx models. You
cannot change the model number if the following conditions exist:
- The requested library is a PSEUDO library.
- The original library is one of the following model numbers: C3A,
C1x, or C3x.
Note: For simplicity, this publication refers to the following
3995 library models as C1x and C3x respectively: C12, C16, C18, C32, C34, C36,
C38.
- The new model number specified is one of the following model numbers:
C3A, SW3, SW4, C3x.
If you change the model number of a 3995-13x to
that of another -13x model (for example, changing
a model number from 131 to 133), you must perform the following steps:
- Delete any existing operator-accessible drive from the SCDS before you change the model number if one had been
previously defined as part of the 3995-13x optical
library model.
- Change the model number.
- Redefine the operator-accessible drive by specifying the pseudo
optical library name.
- Repeat the above steps for other SCDSs that have the operator-accessible
drive defined in them. These other SCDSs must have the same new model
number so that they can be validated.
Note: If the model
3995-13x optical library has a model 3995-11x optical library expansion unit connected to
it before the MODEL NUMBER field is changed, it continues to be connected
after the MODEL NUMBER field is changed. The model number of the connected
optical library expansion unit is also changed accordingly. For example,
changing the model number from 131 to 132 also changes the model number
of all attached drives in the library and expansion units.
If you change the MODEL NUMBER field from a -1xx to any other -1xx model
(for example, changing the model number from a 111 to a 112), you
must perform the following steps:
- Change the optical library name in the CONTROLLING LIBRARY field
to the appropriate corresponding -13x controlling
library name.
The system recalculates the base device number of
the optical library and all the attached optical disk drives based
on the base device number of the new controlling library specified.
- Change the model number.
If you change the MODEL NUMBER field from a -13x model number to a -11x model
number (for example, changing the model number from a 131 to a 111),
you must perform the following steps:
- Delete any existing operator-accessible drive from the SCDS that
was previously defined as part of the 3995-13x optical
library model.
- Use the DELETE line operator to delete any connected -11x optical library before you
change the model number.
- Fill in the CONTROLLING LIBRARY field with the new controlling
library name (3995-13x) to validate the controlling
library.
The system recalculates the base device number of the
optical libraries and all of the attached optical disk drives based
on the base device number of the new controlling library.
If you change the MODEL NUMBER field from a -11x model number to a -13x model
number (for example, changing from a model number 113 to a 133), you
must perform the following steps:
- Fill in the BASE DEVICE NUMBER field with a valid 3995 device
number.
- Blank out the CONTROLLING LIBRARY NAME field.
Note: If
you are changing the model number to 131 or 132 from model 113, then
the DEFAULT MEDIA TYPE field is blanked out. If you are changing the
model number to 133 from model 111 or 112, then the DEFAULT MEDIA
TYPE field is displayed as "3995".
- BASE DEVICE NUMBER
- Changes to the base device number for a 3995 optical controlling
library has the following results:
- All the base device numbers for all connected optical disk drives
are recalculated based on the new base device number specified.
- All the base device numbers for any connected 3995 optical library
expansion units are recalculated based on the new base device number
specified.
- All the base device numbers for all the optical disk drives connected
to the attached optical library expansion units are recalculated based
on the new base device number specified.
Note: You cannot manually change the base device number
for a 3995 optical library expansion unit model because this number
is derived by the system based on the controlling library to which
it is attached.
- CONTROLLING LIBRARY
- Changes to the CONTROLLING LIBRARY field for a connected 3995
library expansion unit model, has the following result:
- The new controlling library is verified. The library base device
number of the connected 3995 optical library expansion unit and all
of the attached optical disk drives are recalculated based on the
base device number of the new 3995 controlling library model whose
name is specified in the CONTROLLING LIBRARY field.
- DEFAULT MEDIA TYPE
- Changes to the DEFAULT MEDIA TYPE field restrict the type of
optical media that can be used for the 3995 optical libraries with
multifunction optical disk drives.
- DEFAULT PSEUDO LIBRARY
- Changes to the DEFAULT PSEUDO LIBRARY field might result in
the volume being associated with a different pseudo library when it
is ejected from this real library.

The following field can be modified on the 3995 Library Alter panel
(Page 2 of 2) to alter the 3995 library system connection definition
in the specified SCDS and in the OAM configuration database for LIBRARY1.
- INITIAL ONLINE STATUS
- To change the system connectivity, or the online or offline
status for the library, or both, alter the values on page 2 of 2 of
the 3995 Library Alter panel (see Figure 2). A library
can be defined as connected to any system that is defined in the SCDS,
whether it was originally defined to that system or not. The library
status is set to this value each time this SCDS is activated. The
library must be connected to at least one system. Only one library
can be online and connected (YES) to any system at a time. The default
is blank. The following values can be used to specify initial online
status:
- YES — online and connected to the
system
- NO — offline and connected to the
system
- blank — offline and not connected
to the system.
