as the minimum current software requirements for the

3590 Models B11 and B1A or Models E11 and E1A. An

update of the open systems device drivers should be

obtained to ensure the Extended Length Cartridge is

supported.

Compatibility:

Magstar 3590 Tape Drives with the

Extended Media Support can read or write on either the

new 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape or

the 3590 High Performance Cartridge Tape.

Limitations:

To use the new 3590 Extended High

Performance Cartridge Tape, the following features must

be installed:

• 3590 Tape Drives shipped prior to March 3, 2000

− Feature number 5780 (Extended Media Support

—

BXX)

—

on the Magstar 3590 Model B11 or B1A

Tape Drive

− Feature number 5781 (Extended Media Support

—

EXX)

—

on the Magstar 3590 Model E11 or E1A

Tape Drive

• Magstar 3494 Tape Library

− Feature number 9780 is required on the Magstar

3494 Tape Library Model D12 or D14 containing the

3590 Tape Drives with Extended Media Support and

also on the 3494 Model L10, L12, or L14

• Magstar 3590 Tape Subsystem

− Feature number 9780 is required on the Magstar

3590 Model A14, C12, or C14 frame

Many solutions require that all 3590 drives in the

subsystem have the Extended Media Support capability

to optimize drive/media allocation. If Extended Length

Cartridges are used, IBM recommends updating all tape

drives, to allow flexibility to mount Extended Length

Cartridges on any tape drive. However, if Extended

Length Cartridges are to be used only on tape drives that

are part of a defined subset, then all drives in that subset

must be updated. Some examples are:

• ESCON-attached tape drives in individual IBM Magstar

3494 Tape Libraries and StorageTek Automated

Cartridge Systems (ACS)

• 3590 stand-alone drives in an MVS complex

The Magstar 3590 Model E11 or E1A Tape Drives can only

read either type of cartridge written in 128-track format

by the B Models, but it can read or write on either type

of cartridge in 256-track format.

The tape search time with the Extended Length Cartridge

could be up to two times longer than with the Standard

Length Cartridge.

The 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape is

not supported for use in the 3495 Tape Library or the 3494

Model B16 or B18 Virtual Tape Server. It is also not

supported on 3590 Tape Drives attached to the 3591

Model A01 High Performance Tape Control Unit.

Planning Information

Customer Responsibilities:

Physical planning is a

customer responsibility. Current levels of the open

systems device drivers should be obtained to ensure the

if required. Detailed physical planning information for the

Magstar 3590 tape drives is in the

IBM Magstar 3590 Tape

Subsystem Introduction and Planning Guide

(GA32-0329).

Cable Orders:

No cables required.

Direct Customer Support:

Eligible customers can obtain

installation and usage assistance through ASK Support

using the search word 3590.
