Hi Sunanda, Have you configured your devclass like this (taken from my devconfig file):
DEFINE DEVCLASS 3592_CLASS DEVTYPE=3592 FORMAT=DRIVE MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60 MOUNTRETENTION=5 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=3584LIB WORM =NO DRIVEENCRYPTION=ALLOW SCALECAPACITY=100 I think you have to specify DEVTYPE=3592 .. If you type "lsdev -Cc tape" in AIX, what is shown? You should have an output like: rmt0 Available 05-08-02 IBM 3592 Tape Drive (FCP) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von sonu Gesendet: Dienstag, 12.
