I have found in the redbook that there is a so called Manual Mode, which
is normally used for the service personnel to put the accessor in
parking position and stop mounting of cartridges or in case of an error
with the accessor. I have suggested to try this and mount the cartridge
manually directly into the drive and copy the tape. I think, this should
work.
Thank you to all who have responded. Let's hope, that IBM will either
put labels on future installation cartridges or make it possible to
mount unlabeled cartridges on the 3584 library.
kind regards
