I don't understand the use of the words
"insert into the library". I never wanted to make
my installation tapes part of the *library*, I just
wanted to mount the tape on a drive, and COPY
it to a tape that IS part of my library.
For that I used the "stand alone device" function
of the 3494. So,
Of course, the problem is independent of the operating system you want
to install. The problem is not the standard label written on the tape

What did the z/VSE Sup
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

mentioned from the 3494.
kind regards
