This section describes remote support to the TS3500 Tape Library through a system
console.
A system console is a service tool that is present in most environments where one or more
FICON/ESCON-enabled products, such as the IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine, are
connected to a zSeries® server (mainframe host).
The TS3000 System Console (TSSC) provides the same functionality to attach a TS3500
Tape Library that is connected to an Open Systems server. The TSSC is a personal
computer (PC), complete with an Ethernet port. A customer rack-mountable version of the
TS3000 System Console is available by ordering feature code 2732.
