Remote support security for the TS3500 Tape Library through a
system console
This section describes remote support security for the TS3500 Tape Library through
a system console.
Figure 15 illustrates all of the external communication connections to the TS3500
Tape Library control system.
Access to read and write data to and from tape cartridges is only available on the
host interface (Fibre Channel or SCSI). The host interface is provided by the drives.
The library communicates with the drives though the Library/Drive Interface. The
Ethernet port, modem port, and CETool port do not have any direct access to the
Library/Drive Interface. All communication between the various interfaces is
through the library control system.
All library communication requires explicit support by the library firmware
running in the library control system. The library firmware does not provide
capability for any of the following functions:
v Answering an incoming call to the modem.
v Communications between the Ethernet port and the modem port.
v Communications between the Ethernet port and the CETool port.
v Communications between the CETool port and the modem port.
v Accessing data from tape cartridges through the Library/Drive Interface.
v Sending or receiving data from tape cartridges through any port.
For more information about installing and using the CETool, see the IBM System
Storage TS3500 Tape Library 3584 Maintenance Information manual.
