Hello,
you don't need to define an ADSM device for 357x library/drives
under AIX. The adsm server on AIX uses the /dev/rmtx device.
So again, don't go under SMITTY ADSM DEVICES but instead
simply run CFGMGR. Once the rmtx devices are available in AIX,
you can define them to ADSM via the admin command line.
For example, assuming you have two drives, rmt0 and rmt1,
you would use the following adsm admin commands to define
the library and drives :

define library mylib libtype=scsi device=/dev/rmt0.smc
define drive mylib drive1 device=/dev/rmt0 element=16
define drive mylib drive2 device=/dev/rmt1 element=17
(you may want to verify the element numbers but these are
usually the default ones)


Have a great day !

I already have the newer Atape Driver. The problem is the ADSM. When you
are going to install a ADSM device (on SMITTY) the only device that apears
doesn't work with the 3570, and gives the message:
          METHOD ERROR (/etc/methods/cfgadsmdd) :
           0514-051 Device to be configured does not match the physical
                    device at the specified connection location.

Is there another way to solve my problem??

You need to down load the Atape drivers from IBM
