Okay... tapeutil is not a Solaris command, but rather one which comes with your IBM tape drive product device drivers. For your 3583, you want the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and Users Guide manual, which you can get starting at the web page http://www.storage.ibm.com/tape/pubs/index.html Everyone dealing with IBM tape drives should have the Device Drivers IUG manual which pertains to their product technology, as it contains vital information for system management of the drives.
