I miss my old 3494 12 Frame HA Lib with 3592 FC Tape drives, It never skipped a beat even during and HA Failover, in 2 years only one Service call on a 3592 Drive for a Slow Fan... Never lost its inventory like our current 3584..... And 2 very confused fully loaded with Pass-through enabled STK SL8500's (LTO3 Drives)
Curious do folk out there using STK SL8500's using ACSLS in a TSM Library Manager / Client sharing Config have issues with their STK mounting tapes. We are having a heck of a time with ....

In considering libraries, keep very much in mind the distinction in types, and relative advantages. The 3494 concept is very clean: it contains a library manager and database, where the host needs only ask it for a tape mount, and not be concerned about keeping track of tapes. The 3584 and similar libraries (of the "SCSI library" legacy name) shift the burden of control to some host program, which has to deal with micro-managing all the volumes, cells, and drives, with a plethora of element numbers. Hopefully, all of these library types will evolve toward some middle ground which combines all the advantages, but allow differing cartridge types.
