    IBM TotalStorage Master Console Features


    The following features #2713, #2714, and #2715 provide connection to
    an IBM TotalStorage Master Console (TSMC) to enable enhanced remote
    support to improve availability. The TSMC can remotely monitor each
    attached device to determine if it is working properly and report any
    error alerts for the early detection of problems. Use of the TSMC may
    expedite microcode updates, reduce service times, and enhance local
    service. One of these features must be ordered on any new 3494 Tape
    Library Model L12, or L22 instead of the Remote Support features (#2710,
    #2711, or #2712). They are recommended on every installed 3494 Tape
    Library. Any 3494 VTS, 3590 Model A60, or 3592 Model J70 in a 3494
    library should also attach to the IBM TotalStorage Master Console. The
    same master console for service may be shared between the following
    units:


    • 3494 Model AX0, B10, B18, B20, HA1, L10, L12, L14, or L22
    • VTC in a 3494 Model CX1
    • 3590 Model A60
    • 3592 Model J70
