Darth - If you have access to ISMF, go into 10. Library Management, 3. Tape Library, and do a 2. Display on the library.
Page down 1 page and see the "Initial Online Status" for that system. Not sure that is it, just a wild guess. >From the help panel: The INITIAL ONLINE STATUS fields show the connections between a tape library and the systems and system groups defined in an SCDS. Possible values: YES The library is connected to this system or system group and is initially online when the SCDS is activated. NO The library is connected to this system or system group and is initially offline when the SCDS is activated. blank The library is not connected to this system or system group.
