That means you can support up to 96 controllers does not necessarily mean you have that many. There are a few ways you can figure out how many controllers you have.
1. Physically go to the F05 frames(cabinets) and look to see how many controllers you have. Not sure what flavor you have C06(P5) or C07(P7). 2. Look at the tape devices in your IODF and view the device there will be a LIBPORT-ID associated with the devices. Each LIB-Port is a controller. 3. In your IOCP each Control Unit defined for your tape drives in the library will be a controller.
