I've been trying to figure this out myself and ended up posting to the TPC forum on IBM Developerworks. Here's a reply I just got:
Hi. You're exactly on the money - a later LM board is required than the one you've likely got in your library. It's still possible to use an external linux box with the SMI-S code on it though. ALternatively, it may be possible to get a replacement LM (but I'm not sure if that would cost you or not). It's not a very well understood thing, but I've been through that loop myself. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David E Ehresman Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 9:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: 3584 SMI-S agent I just upgraded the firmware on my 3584 tape library from 7xxx to 8900. This firmware is suppose to supply support for an onboard SMI-S agent. But I still don't see the SMI-S option under the Access option on the 3584 web interface. Any idea what I have to do to get that option to show up? David
