John,
Older (really old) 3494 models had 4 drives per each Axx and Bxx CU (each
group of 4 on it's own CUADD).Maybe?

Subject: ATL drive allocation problem.
We did a DR last week (and I immediately go sick the day after ---
coincidence? You decide!). Anyway, one problem that we had was that we
could only get 8 of the 16 ATL drives to become allocated. Note that all
16 drives would successfully come on line! It is just that when drives
0-7 were allocated, with drives 8-16 being unallocated and online, a job
which needed the 9th drive would wait with the message:
IEF289E JOBNAME STEPNAME WAITING FOR VOLUME(S) OR UNIT(S)
No, it was not trying to mount an already mounted tape volumes, I
checked that.
At home, we only have 6 physical drives. Oh, these are 3952J drives. At
home, we have a 3584-L22. At DR, they have an older 3494 (don't know the
model). I have genned the entire 16 devices in our normal HCD. I genned
the 3494 first as having all 16 drives on a single CU. That did not
work. I then genned drives 0-7 on one CU and 8-F on a separate CU. All
16 drives worked on the "floor system", so I know that drives do indeed
work. I am convinced that it is something weird in my gen, but I am
totally stumped as to what it could be. Oh, yes, the LIBPORT ids are
correct. As I said, the drives will vary online. They just are not
allocated for some reason. Could this be an SMS parameter of some sort?
