And now I've learned what BTDTGTTS stands for. My education for the day. Thanks Wanda.

In the interest of completeness, here's one other thing that is different from the 3494: When you create your logical libraries, modify the "maximum VIO cartridges" setting. I believe the default is still 16. AFAIK, with a 3494 you can just keep stuffing cartridges in the I/O door, and it will keep filing them away with an INSERT category code. In the TS3500 w/ALMS, you put cartridges in the physical I/O door, and the library puts them into the "virtual" I/O door of the appropriate library partition. But if you put more through the physical door than the library has virtual I/O slots (before you do a checkin and clear the virtual I/O slots), weirdness will ensue. Your checkin will not "see" the extra cartridges. I don't' know of any reason not to set the "maximum VIO cartridges" to the max setting, which I think is 255. Somebody else might have a better idea if there is a downside to that.

I am going to miss my 3494 - been using it since 1995! I agree that Wanda has some of the best documentation/experiences with TSM, et-al - she should be writing for IBM/Redbooks!
