Re: Connecting a 3581 tape loader to 2749 card on 520

Rob,

Thanks for the reply.

The machine is HMC controlled.

I would do concurrent maintenance, but as far a I can tell, this 2844
controls the load source disks (and _all_ the disks) as well.  SST
won't let me power it down.  It shows up in iNav All Hardware view as
Resource;

Cmb01 - Type-Model 2844-001 S/n 062
  Lin03 Comm Adapter
  Ctl01 Workstation Controller (this can and will go away when we change over)
  Dc01 Storage Controller
     Dd002 Disk Unit
     Dd001 Disk Unit
     Dd003 Disk Unit
     Opt01 Optical Storage Unit
     Tap01  Tape Unit (internal - not the one I am trying to add)
     D01 Device Services
     Dd004  Disk Unit

In talking with the boss, this card/cable/Drive combo was working on
an 820 before it was upgraded to a 525.  He was told that the 520 that
is now powering portions of the web (and will do all web serving as
soon as I get it up to V5R4) would be able to utilize this drive.  I
believe that it is a matter of configuring the cards correctly to get
this accomplished.

Jim
