Re: Ethernet connection IBM 3494
Actually, no what you have to do for the storage expert is install an additional Ethernet card in the VTS if you have one so that it can send you performance data. The Ethernet feature for LAN access driving of the robot versus RS-232 requires a chargeable feature unless it was put in from the beginning. -Original Message- From: Edward(Ed) J.

The real use of the Ethernet is in an environment like mine where I have 10 different servers talking to the library. -Original Message- From: Cook, Dwight E (SAIC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 7:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Ethernet connection IBM 3494 The main thing using tcp/ip communication method with a 3494 is that it enables you to use more tape drives. Each RS232 attached host means one less tape drive that may be put in the atl. Also if you have a network outage, you stand the chance of dropping your connection to your atl. We've run both, generally RS232 until I need to max out an environment with tape drives. I have no complaints with either.

Re: Ethernet connection IBM 3494
The LM Web interface was introduced in LM 525 code. Not many open system attached LM's are upgraded to 525 because 525 was built to provide additional support for VTS Peer-to-Peer 3494's. If you request it from your CE he will install it, but it is not yet released as an EC. To enable it: Commands --> 3494 Specialist --> Enable Fyi- the specialist is statistical data / read only data. It does not replace the functionality of DCAF which is complete control over the LM. It does not replace what you can do with mtlib. Regards, Denis L.

Re: Ethernet connection IBM 3494
Oh, forgot to mention, with a lan card, if you have libraries scattered all over 10-buck-2 you have the ability to define all those libraries to a single environment and monitor their status (easily) from there. Remember, you don't need drives in an atl to be able to communicate with it. Example we have 7 atl's in 3 locations across 2 states, we have one utility server with all 7 atl's defined to it and you may do things like for LIBR in $(lsdev -Cctape | grep lmcp | cut -d' ' -f1) do mtlib -l/dev/$LIBR -qL | egrep -i '(paused|degraded)' if [ ?$ -eq 0 ] then echo $LIBR having problems | mail -s ATL_BROKE myid@myhostname fi done Dwight -Original Message- From: Ganu Sachin, IBM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 1:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ethernet connection IBM 3494 Hi Is there great significance in getting LAN card for IBM 3494.
