This topic describes the supported tape library and requirements
for attaching the library to the 3592-C07 controller.
The 3592-C07 supports
this tape library:
- IBM® System Storage™ TS3500 Tape
Library
The 3592-C07 does
NOT support the following tape libraries:
- IBM TotalStorage 3494 Tape
Library
- IBM System Storage TS3400 Tape Library
- StorageTek Tape Libraries (Silo)
When attached to a
TS3500 Tape
Library the
3592-C07 can only
attach to
TS1120 and later tape drives. Up to 16 tape drives can be attached to one
3592-C07.
Note: The 3592-C07 cannot
coexist in the same logical library with a 3953-L05 Library Manager
or any older model control unit.
To ensure correct operation of the
TS3500 Tape
Library attached
to the
3592-C07,
you must:
- Install and enable the Advanced Library Management System on the TS3500 Tape
Library
- Establish a cartridge assignment policy with "All Other VOLSERs" assigned
to a specific logical library
