TS3500 Tape Library Command Line Interface
This topic describes the TS3500 Tape Library Command Line Interface (CLI) program, which
provides the ability to access TS3500 Tape Library functions through a CLI.
In order to use the TS3500 Tape Library CLI, the following prerequisites apply:
• The TS3500 Tape Library must be at firmware level 8xxx (or higher).
• The Advanced Library Management System (ALMS) must be installed and enabled.

IBM Tape System Reporter
This section describes the IBM® Tape System Reporter application and how it works in
supported environments.
The IBM Tape System Reporter application is a Java-based monitoring server with an
optional Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to monitor and
gather data for multiple libraries. You can generate general and specific data reports for the
multiple tape cartridges, tape drives, and frames that you are monitoring.
The IBM Tape System Reporter application enables operators and administrators of the
TS3500 Tape Library to monitor and report on storage devices from any location in an
enterprise environment. This application communicates directly with your library to collect
and store pertinent data enabling you to generate and view performance trends. The IBM
Tape System Reporter application is bundled with your Advanced Library Management
System (ALMS) purchase.
Data is available from 3592 tape drives (models J1A, E05, E06, and EU6) and from LTO
Ultrium 2 and newer Ultrium tape drives.
The ccSARS data is available from 3592 E05, Ultrium 4, and newer tape drives.
Notes:
1. Data is not collected for the LTO Ultrium 1 tape drive.
