I found the statement below in the "IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library with ALMS: Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0593-03)", pages 69 and 70. This probably applies even if your library isn't ALMS enabled but I can't prove it. The feature codes 1700 and 1701 are for "Enhanced Node Cards". I hope this helps - Rick.
New base frame models L23 and L53 come with support for the embedded SMI-S Agent. Other frame models, however, require upgrades in order to support the embedded SMI-S Agent. The following table displays the frame models and required upgrades. Table 20. Required upgrade for those frames providing Ethernet attachment to the SMI-S Agent Frame model Required upgrade L22, D22 Installation of feature code 1700 or 1701 or model conversion to L23 or D23 L23, D23 No upgrade required L32, D32 Installation of feature code 1700 or 1701 L52, D52 Installation of feature code 1700 or 1701 or model conversion to L53 or D53 L53, D53 No upgrade required At 08:36 AM 3/11/2010, you wrote:

Here's a reply I just got: Hi. You're exactly on the money - a later LM board is required than the one you've likely got in your library. It's still possible to use an external linux box with the SMI-S code on it though. ALternatively, it may be possible to get a replacement LM (but I'm not sure if that would cost you or not). It's not a very well understood thing, but I've been through that loop myself. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of David E Ehresman Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 9:21 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: 3584 SMI-S agent I just upgraded the firmware on my 3584 tape library from 7xxx to 8900. This firmware is suppose to supply support for an onboard SMI-S agent. But I still don't see the SMI-S option under the Access option on the 3584 web interface. Any idea what I have to do to get that option to show up? David ##################################### This message is for the named person's use only.
