Application of this PTF may disable or render ineffective programs that
use system memory addresses not generated by the IBM translator,

interactive capacity to purchased levels. This PTF may be a prerequisite
for future PTFs. By applying this PTF you authorize and agree to the
foregoing.
This PTF is subject to the terms of the 'IBM License Agreement for Machine

APAR Error Description / Circumvention
-----------------------------------------------
When multiple cartridges are ejected a MSGCPA401E is issued
immediately if the I/O slots are full. The system should wait at
least 1 min to allow the user to clear the I/O station before
posting the MSGCPA401E.
CORRECTION FOR APAR MA46598 :
-----------------------------
An incorrect check was performed causing the MSGCPA401E to be
issued immediately. The check has been fixed.
CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA46598 :
--------------------------------
None.
Activation Instructions
None.
Special Instructions
********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF62426 :
=================================================
This fix provides support for up to 15000 storage elements in an
attached 3584 or ProtecTIER library.
The time required for a media library to respond to the system for an
inventory request is significant, and a larger library will appear
slower to both the user interface and to applications. The tape library
response will get progressively slower as the number of elements
increases and having multiple hosts actively using the tape library
will also slow down the response times. The point at which the
performance is not acceptable depends on the workload mix, the number
of controlling systems, and the timing of the jobs running on the
systems. IBM cannot identify the general case where the performance
becomes an issue. If a large library configuration is not fast enough
in your environment, reduce the number of storage slots.
Default Instructions
THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
