Tape libraries (TS4500, TS4300, TS3200, TS3310, and TS3500) to alert if any tape is written with no encryption

Tape libraries (TS4500, TS4300, TS3200, TS3310, and TS3500) to alert if any tape is written with no encryption for any reason. This helps to avoid any unencrypted tapes being created in the environment.

Allow tape drive to be part of more than one logical library

I would like to have the possibility to assign one tape drive in a TS4300 to more than one logical library. Most tape libraries currently are not over-utilized, meaning there are a lot free time slots where drives are not in use. Having multiple (...

Allow allocation of a cross-library dedicated cleaning slot without wasting 5unit slot

Allow allocation of a cross-library dedicated cleaning slot (shared by all libs/tapes) without wasting 5unit slot. Generically, and possibly, allow also for logical libraries to be partitioned using an atomic unit less than 5slot (i.e. single slots).

Automatic ingest for new tapes

I want to load new tapes into I/O slots and have them automatically moved into available slots based on function (data tape or cleaning tape). Right now, at least one magazine must be fully removed to add new tapes.

Open I/O slots to all logical libraries

IBM problem number866018YV3V TS4300 currently does not allow I/O slots to be visible to all logical libraries defined in the tape library. I/O can only be assigned to a single logical library. This is different to how other TS Tape Libraries work ...

LTO9 media pre-calibration status on TS4300 gui

LTO9 medias need pre-calibration before they can used in production. TS4300 does not report pre-calibration status on it's media listing view. This should be reported on TS4300 graphical user interface.
