The 3494 tracks where a tape is and TSM depends on the library manager to do the right thing. While the 3584 knows which slot a tape is in (see the 3584 library specialist), TSM also tracks the tape's location. With a 3584, a TSM 'q libvol f=d' has the home element filled in with the tape slot element number; with a 3494 the same command has the home element field as blank.

I know in the 3494 there is a library manager but unless I've missed something I don't see that type of unit in a 3584. Does the TSM server keep this information local to the server?
