First, thanks to all who've helped me in the past with my DFSMS questions! I'm so close to getting this to work, I can feel it...
The RMS component is successfully talking to the 3495, but I haven't been able to mount a tape as of yet. I was given a range of tapes with the labels VM0000-VM0005. I was also given a drive all to myself with an address of 4115. I can talk to the library and get information about that drive just fine. The problems is I can't seem to figure out how to MOUNT the tape. When I query (dfsmsrm q lib device 4115) the drive's address, this is what I get: RMSMASTR: FSMEIF1211I DFSMS RM QUERY LIBRARY with NOWAIT received from user DFSMS, request identifier = 78 DGTUIR2026I DFSMS request 78 accepted for processing Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:49:44 RMSMASTR: TAPE 4115 ATTACHED TO RMSMASTR 4115 RMSMASTR: TAPE 4115 DETACHED BY RMSMASTR 09:49:44 * MSG FROM RMSMASTR: FSMBCI2200I Device 4115: Device Type = 3592, Library Name = TLLIB01, VLABEL = N/A, Mounted Category = NONE, Assigned Cate gory = NONE When I try to mount a tape, this is the error I get: dfsmsrm mount vol vm0000 RMSMASTR: FSMEIF1211I DFSMS RM MOUNT with NOWAIT received from user DFSMS, request identifier = 57 DGTUIR2026I DFSMS request 57 accepted for processing Ready; T=0.01/0.01 13:45:10 RMSMASTR: TAPE 4115 ATTACHED TO RMSMASTR 4115 RMSMASTR: TAPE 4115 DETACHED BY RMSMASTR RMSMASTR: FSMBAC2009E Requested volume VM0000 is not in the library; request identifier = 57, library name = TLLIB01 13:45:10 * MSG FROM RMSMASTR: FSMBAD2009E Requested volume VM0000 is not i n the library; request identifier = 57, library name = TLLIB01 Neither my 3495 administrator or I can seem to figure out what's wrong. I've tried passing the rdev address (4115) with the dfsmsrm mount command as an option, but it didn't work either - same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
