Library Manager
The Library Manager processes all requests and control functions in the 3494 Tape

through the use of the Library Manager console (display and keyboard with its
pointing device).
You can also access the Library Manager from a remote location. For information
on how to do this, see Chapter 7, "Remote Library Manager Console Feature," on
page 417 or "IBM TotalStorage 3494 Tape Library Specialist" on page 42.

Table 5. 3494 Tape Library Cartridge Capacity (continued)
Model or Frame
Note:
1. Optional convenience I/O station features reduce the cartridge capacity by 30 cartridges
(FC 5210) or 80 cartridges (FC 5230).
2. With FC 5215 (Dual Gripper) installed, the convenience I/O station features reduce the
cartridge capacity by 26 cartridges (FC 5210) or 72 cartridges (FC 5230).
3. Selecting the high-capacity I/O facility reduces the cartridge capacity, depending on the
options chosen (see "High-Capacity I/O Facility" on page 21).
4. One cell is reserved for ejecting cartridges if a convenience I/O station feature is not
installed and the high-capacity output facility is not defined.
5. A maximum of two cells is reserved for certain service representative functions. With
the 3494 HA1 Option installed, there are no cells reserved in the 3494 Lxx Frame for
service functions.
6. One cell is reserved for error-recovery operations in configurations without the 3494
HA1 Option. Two cells are reserved for error-recovery operations in configurations with
the 3494 HA1 Option.
A general operator performs the day-to-day basic interactions with the
3494 Tape Library. This is limited generally to inquiries about the 3494
Tape Library status or to perform cartridge insert and eject operations. A
general operator has a limited level of authorization.
A system administrator is an operator with additional training on the
management of both the 3494 Tape Library and the data. The system
administrator typically handles the initial installation of volumes into the
3494 Tape Library and resolves problems with volumes during operation.
The system administrator has authorization access to all functions of the
3494 Tape Library, except for those uniquely related to the service and
repair of the 3494 Tape Library.
