Re: Number of usable cells in a 3494

[Dwight Cook]

the recovery cell is that ~upper left~ cell that you refer to
the CE tape cell is in that same column but the bottom cell or ~lower left~
you might say...

those are the only two I know of that you can't access for general use

Hi TSM-ers,

I'm running TSM 4.2.2.8 on a NSM with a 3494 library with 210 cells
(counted by myself).
mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL only reports 206 cells
   number of cells............206
   available cells............0

In the library I find one CE and two cleaning cartridges.

mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -vqK -s fff6 shows
   number of volumes....1

mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -vqK -s fffd shows
   number of volumes....2

One of this 4 "missing" cells is the special cell in the upper left corner
but
how about the remaining 3 cells?
How can I use this cells? Could the CE and cleaning cartridges be counted
twice by the 3494?

I never had much to do with the 3494 so the solution to this "problem"
might
be quite obvious.

Thanks and kind regards
Thomas Rupp
