Being that this environment has a few elements of virtualization involved, have the software layers and drivers that present the Quantum ATL emulation to the EMC CDL and then present this to AIX 5.3.0.4 been reviewed and verified in entirety?
TSM can only see what the operating system offers. Hence, if after using the library definition technique presented by Richard, I would suggest researching software entities and how they play together. Is the EMC CDL emulation supported under AIX 5.3? You may be in a 'finger pointing' environment which could be difficult for any support line to diagnose. Larry, I understand, give me a call/email should you wish to discuss. 8-) John G.

Have you created the device through Smit -> Devices -> TSM Devices? Because it's not an IBM device, AIX will not recognize it by default, but it has to be created using the TSM device driver. So what's new with the ping-pong within IBM :-(, if it's a software problem they will defer you to hardware who In it's turn will send you back to software again.

Verzonden: dinsdag 6 juni 2006 20:04 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: [ADSM-L] Missing device for library media changer. AIX 5.3.0.4 TSM 5.3.3.0 EMC CDL emulating a Quantum P7000 ATL We are currently running on a P650 with AIX 5.2.0.1, TSM 5.2.3.0 and the same EMC CDL library. On Sunday we tried to upgrade to a P570 AIX 5.3.0.4, TSM 5.3.3.0. We were able to get through the TSM part of the upgrade. The problem we are not able to resolve is getting AIX to "see" the device for the library media changer. On the old system this is /dev/lb0. We could see all 16 drives in AIX and in TSM. We have a PMR open and have been bounced between AIX and TSM with no answer yet. Looking for some wisdom from the list.
