All,
Thanks for the assist.
We had an engineer in to deal with a VTS problem, and asked him to check
the convienience.
There turned out to be a piece of plastic from a cartridge which had become
detached causing the sensors to fail, leaving the robot in output mode.
This is now sorted.
Thanks
I would think that the ATL would pull the carts from the I/O station regardless
of the state of any software running on the mainframe. It pretty much just
queues the notifications up untill somebody accepts the notification and deals
with it.

Is it leaving the carts in the I/O station or is it placing them into a
slot?
Check to see if your CBRUXENT exit is active, it may not be accepting
the volumes (D SMS,OAM).
What does the LM say about the volumes?
What does ISMF say about the volumes?

Hi all,
I've just had an operator tell me that our 3494 "robot" is not "inserting" the
carts (last weeks backup carts returned from offsite) he is putting into the
I/O
convenience.
I've checked the machine, and everything seems to be ok.
Why would the system NOT put a cart into insert mode?
T
There is no function on the ATL console to eject a tape.
I need to look into setting the 3494 web interface.

Ejecting virtual tapes is a
little different (I think this is done in the 'commands' popup) but
do'able.

We have a 3494 ATL in our BR site we use for an offsite tape repository.
The plan is for that unit to run stand alone until we bring up a
production LPAR and begin a recovery. Tapes would be rotated in and out
of the unit using printed reports from the base system.
The operators want to use
Radoslaw,
ISMF allows you to change the status from SCRATCH to SCRATCH.
Simply type S in the 'new value' field and ENTER. This changes the category
number in the library and also resets any error error status.
You can do the same with PRIVATE->P
Other ways you had available;

Mike,
Thank you, ALTER did the trick.
However scratch status was OK, so I altered it from scratch to private
and again from private to scratch. The last change was refused. I had to
do it in RMM (release + housekeeping).
Regarding to your qeustions: each MVS has its own separated volcat, RMM
Radoslaw,
How to fix it depends on your TCDB/rmm CDS configuration. However,
One way which should be independent of those variations
In ISMF mountable tape volume list, one the 'owning' system, select the
volumes that have a discrepancy, and issue ALTER line command to change
the status
The following scenario:
3494 ATL connected to several z/OS systems. Each system has its own
DEVSUPxx member and its own set of volume categories. For example system
MVS4 uses 004x, MVS3 uses 003x and so on. *No system uses default
categories*. So, each system cannot even see other systems

I thinks it works slightly different: supposing both systems are fully
separated, the insertion of the tape is presented to both systems and
both CA-1's will check their TMC for the tape. If present they will
accept the tape and have the TCDB and LM updates.
I suspect the test-tapes are also def

I have just initiated sharing of our 3494 tape robot across 2 LPARS
(Prod and Test).
There is no sharing between the 2 systems.
They have separate range of tapes, separate TCDB, separate CA1 TMC,

We are planning to connect our z990 mainframe to an IBM 3494 ATL located in our
head office (40k). We currently are using Cisco 10720 routers (GbE) to connect
the two sites. The ATL contains 4 J1A drives and a J70 controller.
I was wondering what type of FICON switches are available to
