IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center (TPC)
A software solution that manages storage
infrastructures in Open Systems
environments.

IEEA See import/export element address.
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers.
import/export element (IEE)
In SCSI terms, an I/O slot.
import/export element address (IEEA)
In SCSI terms, the location of an I/O slot.
inaccessible cartridge storage slot
A cartridge storage slot that is designated
for the diagnostic cartridge, which is used
during service procedures. The Models
L22, L23, L32, L52, and L53 base frames
each contain one inaccessible cartridge
storage slot for a diagnostic cartridge at
physical address F01,C01,R01.
Additionally, the first expansion frame of
a different media type (3592 or LTO) in a
mixed media library contains one
inaccessible cartridge slot for a diagnostic
cartridge at physical addresses
Fxx,C01,R01 (where xx equals the first
expansion frame for the second type of
media).
independent software vendor (ISV)
A company that makes and sells software
products that run on one or more
computer hardware or operating system
platforms.
initial program load (IPL)
(1) The initialization procedure that
causes an operating system to commence
operation.
(2) The process by which a configuration
image is loaded into storage at the
beginning of a work day or after a system
malfunction.
(3) The process of loading system
programs and preparing a system to run
jobs.
initialize
To format a magnetic tape, write a label
(VOLSER) on the tape, and leave the tape
empty except for the system files
containing the structure information. All
former contents of the tape are lost.
initializing
The act of performing an inventory on the
TS3500 Tape Library.
initiator
In SCSI terms, a SCSI device that requests
an I/O process to be performed by
another SCSI device (a target). In many
cases, an initiator can also be a target.
input/output (I/O) station
On the front door of the TS3500 Tape
Library, one or two compartments into
which you insert and remove cartridges
into and from the library. Both stations
are accessed by the cartridge accessor.
inrush current
The momentary peak current (in amperes)
into the TS3500 Tape Library when the
AC line voltage is first applied.
insert Pertaining to the TS3500 Tape Library, a
term used to describe the act of putting a
tape cartridge into an I/O station.
install (1) To set up for use or service.
(2) The act of adding a product, feature,
or function to a system or device either
by a singular change or by the addition of
multiple components or devices.
interchange
The ability to process (read or write)
given tape data on any one of a set of
tape devices that support the form factor
and recording format of the tape data.
interchange application
The preparation of tapes for use on other
systems or devices, either local or remote,
or the use of tape data prepared by
another system.
intermediate capacity expansion
A feature that increases the initial capacity
of Model L22, L23, L52, and L53 frames.
Models L22 and L23 increase from 58 to
117 cartridge slots for 3592 tape
