Agreed; you are a perfect candidate for ALMS.
It makes the 3500 behave more like a 3494 - it queues ejects.
If the I/O station is full, the next ejects land in the virtual I/O slots;
as soon as ops clears the physical I/O slots, the library will push out the
next 16 (or 32) that are queued.

Another way is to activate the 3584 GUI, and give them the link. That's how I
enabled our operators to look at various things, such as how many slots are
empty in the library, for those days when we get back from offsite more tapes
than we have slots for. Ask your IBM tech. You can do all sorts of
Chip,
Thanks for your reply.
I am familiar with the 3584's GUI, and use it all the time. My
script was meant to be an alert. If I could count on the Operators to
remember every 30 minutes all day to go take a look at the 3584 GUI and
see if there are tapes to check out, then I
There is a least one alternative method of letting the Operators know that the
i/o station is full and one method of not worrying about the i/o station being
full in the numbers that you are using.
1) You can turn on snmp traps for the library. One of the traps that the
library generates is
John,
If I'm reading it correctly, the SML-MIB_112.mib file describes
structures in the library that can be walked with SNMP.
physicalMediaTable might be the one to look at, I have no access to a
library just at present so I can't test.
Alternatively, define another control path and use it just
Steve,
We already have an alternate control path set up. I will give
that try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Greetings,
We have an IBM3584 library. We needed a script which would
determine how many tapes were in the I/O doors of the library, and then
send an email to the Operators to empty the I/O doors when the library
was mostly full. We fill the I/O door several times a day in the course
