Open I/O slots to all logical libraries

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

IBM problem number

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 such as TS3200. This means operators have to be aware of which I/O slots are allocated to which logical library. something they are not likely to be aware off at the time of loading tape carts.

    Best practice is to purchase at least one module per logical library which requires I/O slots. The TS4500 is also an option for I/O slot sharing.

    Not currently in plan, will continue to monitor. An entry TS4500 provides this capability.
