Overall Assessment

This is a substantial PR that adds comprehensive tape library management support to zhmcclient. The implementation looks solid with good test coverage. Here are my observations and suggestions:

✅ Strengths

  1. Comprehensive Implementation: Both TapeLibrary and TapeLink classes are well-implemented with all necessary operations
  2. Good Test Coverage: Unit tests and end-to-end tests are included
  3. Mock Infrastructure: Proper mock support for testing
  4. Documentation: Added glossary entries and resource documentation
  5. Consistent API Design: Follows existing zhmcclient patterns

📋 Suggestions for Improvement

  1. PR Description: Please add a detailed description explaining:

    • What this PR adds (tape library management feature)
    • Why it's needed (SE 2.15.0+ support)
    • Any breaking changes or migration notes
    • Link to related issues if any
  2. Changelog Entry: Verify that a changelog entry has been added for this feature

  3. Code Quality: Consider running linters and formatters to ensure consistency

  4. Documentation: The implementation looks good, but consider adding:

    • Usage examples in docstrings
    • A tutorial or guide in the docs

🔍 Specific Code Review Points

I'll add inline comments on specific files for detailed feedback.

Consider caching the CPC object to avoid repeated lookups. The current implementation fetches it on every access.

Good error handling for missing FCP adapters. Consider adding a more descriptive error message that guides users on how to configure FCP adapters.

In the CRUD test, consider adding cleanup code to restore the original name/description after the test completes, or use a unique test name to avoid conflicts.
