Re: Adding a Frame to a Tape Library (resolved)

2008-04-28 Thread Lizette Koehler
I found out that our CE did not do a step that no one at IBM knew about for the 
addition of a frame.  When he issued the command on the ALMS it caused the VTS 
to reboot but now we have all of our slots.

Thanks everyone who provided input.  But it turned out to be a hardware issue.

We just added a new frame to the TS3500 we have.  So now we have two frames.  
The number of slots has not changed.  It was 500 slots before the upgrade to 
the second frame and 500 slots after the upgrade.  

When I go into the Tape library it shows the 900 slots I expected.  ISMF and D 
SMS,LIB(x) still shows the 500 slots.

Adding a Frame to a Tape Library

This is the first time I have had a frame added.  So I want to make sure it is 
not a plug/play issue.

I know that IDCAMS can alter the library to increase the number of slots.  So 
the hardware knows, but the software does not.  However, it seems to me that it 
should be more automated.  But perhaps I am living in a dream world.

Any thoughts?
