We do the manual cartridge move from a slot to a tape drive on a regular basis.
Never tried the IPL part

The 3584 has numbered SCSI element numbers for every slot, including
those occupied by the drives themselves. Moving a tape from its current
location in the library to the correct SCSI element effectively mounts
it in the drive!!!
If this is documented in the 3584 Operations guide, I never found it. It
should be CLEARLY documented there as well as in the DSS stand-alone
restore procedures section under "Using a Tape Library". I will submit
an RCF to get the z/OS pub updated.
Many thanks to Crispin Hugo and Steve Finch for suggesting and
confirming the technique!
