Hello Everyone that has 3590 connections to their zSeries,
We are looking into 3590 cartridge drives. I am having some
issues understanding the IBM numbers.
Please check what I think these numbers are.
3584-L22 base frame
is this just the rack to hold everything
3592-E05 tape drives these
are the actual drive that reads the cartridge
3592-J70 Enterprise Tape Controller is the
controller that connect the drives to the Ficon/Escon
To the tape drives
3593-F05 Library Controller Frame This is
the actual frame that holds the J70 and E05 inside the
3584-L22 frame
3593-L05 Library Manager not sure
what this really does other than
"Model L05 - single library manager. Maximum of 2 (redundancy only) per
3593 System"
Am I correct on what I have?
