The library needs a minimum of two Ethernet ports: one attached to your network
for use by the storage administrator and one attached to the private master console
network for remote support.
Note: In the past, a library only had a single Ethernet port. To ensure a separate
Ethernet connection from the library to the system console, at least one additional
Model D22, D32, or D52 frame was required, with a frame control assembly
(feature code 1452 or 1453) that contained a medium changer card pack (MCP)
with an Ethernet connection (feature code 1660). However, with the design and
inclusion of the enhanced frame control assembly in Models L23, D23, L53, and
D53, and the enhanced node card upgrade (feature code 1700 or 1701) for Models
L22, D22, L52, D52, L32, and D32, each frame now contains a medium changer
assembly (MCA) with two Ethernet ports. This eliminates the need for an
additional Model D22, D32, or D52 frame.
The TS3500 Tape Library feature code 2715 (TS3000 Attachment) provides an
Ethernet cable for the library connection to the system console.
When a FICON/ESCON-enabled product attaches to a TS3500 Tape Library, the
following functionality must be enabled on the tape library to ensure proper
operation:
v Advanced Library Management System (ALMS)
v Cartridge assignment policy with All Other VOLSERs assigned to a specific
logical library
Note: Insert Notification is no longer required and is not recommended.

server attaches to the
TS3500 Tape Library. For additional information about attaching the IBM System z
server to the TS3500 Tape Library through the 3953 Tape System, see the IBM 3953
Tape System Introduction and Planning Guide. For additional information about
attaching the IBM System z server to the TS3500 Tape Library through the IBM
Virtualization Engine TS7740, refer to the IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 Series
Introduction and Planning Guide IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700, TS7700 Cache
Controller, and TS7700 Cache Drawer or the IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700
Information Center. For additional information about attaching the IBM System z
server to the TS3500 Tape Library through a 3592-C07 Tape Controller, refer to the
IBM System Storage 3592 C07 Customer Information Center. Refer also to the IBM
