Re: 7.1 tape media library problems TAPMLB01

Depends on your needs, but if you want it to behave as a library you'll 
want random.  If you want it to behave as an autoloader, then 
sequential.  I tend to use both based on what I'm doing, but going from 
sequential to random almost always demands an IPL of the controller 
card.  If this library is controlled by a card with an IOP, you need to 
do both cards, not just the IOA.  Be careful to be sure nothing else 
(DASD) is being driven by the IOP or it's gonna be a long day.
