Re: Alternate IPL and Ultrium 2

Unless you are running OPS Console, the tape IOA is most likely was added 
with a 2nd IOP in the CPU. This make the tape not on the first Bus and 
must defined as an Alternate INSTALLATION device vs an Alternate IPL 
Device. This is also true if the tape IOA is in any expansion unit.  The 
Backup and Recover Guide has the steps to configure it as an Alternate 
Installation Device.   The basic steps are ff the system is functional 
IPL in Manual Mode
Sign in to DST with QSECOFR
        Work with DST Environment
        System Devices
        Alternate Installation Device
                Pick the tape drive.

The full details are in in Chapter 17 of the V5R3 backup and Recovery 
Guide

Alternate IPL and Ultrium 2







Hi,

We have a i5 520 and a 820. On each system we have a 3580 Ultrium 2
external drive. But none is seen as an alternate IPL device. SCSI
address is set to 0 on each drive. What else must I do ?
We have also an optical unit on each system and it is shown as an
alternate IPL device.
Example of the i5 520 :
 -  Tape Unit                      3580-002 U787A.001.DPM0L58    SD002
 -  Optical Storage Unit       %   6337-002 U787A.001.DPM0L58    SD001

Thanks
