The biggest complaint I have with the 3584 is the interface via the LCD panel/web interface. It is too dumb. No autoloading of tapes from the I/O station.
1. load 10 tapes in library, then run over to TSM console. 2. TSM commands: checkin libv 3584lib search=bulk checkl=barcode status=scratch (or label libv) q request reply 1 3. repeat Ejecting them is also a pain as you have to do them 10 or 30 at a time depending on the size of your I/O station. Life is easier with the 3494 and the OS/2's library/tape managment program. Maybe I am missing somthing with TSM and 3584's does anyone else have a better way?
