IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library with ALMS: Introduction and Planning Guide
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 System z 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.
