Your tape library not only has to give you the volser range, but they also have to do some setup in the Library Manager. You might want to ask them if they've done that work. :-)

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!
