APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
If a tape drive is looking for an owning library, while either
the system is being IPLed or the controlling IOA is being IPLed,
System Heap can run out of storage, leading to a crash.

Special Instructions


********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF55409 :
=================================================

This fix provides support for up to 15000 storage elements in an
attached 3584 or ProtecTIER library.
The time required for a media library to respond to the system for an
inventory request is significant, and a larger library will appear
slower to both the user interface and to applications. The tape library
response will get progressively slower as the number of elements
increases and having multiple hosts actively using the tape library
will also slow down the response times. The point at which the
performance is not acceptable depends on the workload mix, the number
of controlling systems, and the timing of the jobs running on the
systems. IBM cannot identify the general case where the performance
becomes an issue. If a large library configuration is not fast enough
in your environment, reduce the number of storage slots.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
