We have an ADSM OS/2 Server Version 2.1 Level 15 installed on a PC Server
330.
We want to backup to a Quantum DLT 4500 library.
The ADSMSDI program recognizes the library and say's "ADSM supoort : YES".
  ADSMSDI output :
  ** 2 Removable Sequential devices
     Adap  Id  Lun  VendorID  Product ID        Rev.  ADSM support?
     ----  --  ---  --------  ----------------  ----  ----------------

When we try to label a tape with dsmlabel we get the error message :
  ANR9752E Could not access drive 'TAPE75$'.  It may be in use by another
  application..
When we try to define the library to the ADSM server we get :
  ANS8000I Server command: 'def libr dlt4500 libtype=scsi device=AUTO75$'
  ANR8418E DEFINE LIBRARY: An I/O error occurred while accessing library
DLT4500.
  ANS8001I Return code 3.
We also tried to use a standalone Exabyte tape drive with this ADSM server
with the same result :
ADSMSDI says the tape is supported, but dsmlabel and define library fail.
(Backagain/2 did work with this exabyte drive !)
OS/2 is WARP server german with fixpak 36 :

Can anybody help ?
