Hello everybody,

My environment is currently the following:

TSM Server 4.1.4.0 on Windows 2000 Server
IBM 3583 library with two LTO drives and 24 slots

We will be upgrading the library by adding two more drives and 12 extra slots 
(hence 4 drives and 36 slots in total).

The website of TSM states 'This library requires advanced device support if 
there are more than 30 slots and/or more than 2 drives in the library'. Is the 
advanced device support just a license you have to purchase? By which commands 
do you add this license?

What are the steps to be performed to upgrade the library in TSM?

1. Define the new drives in TSM
2. How do I tell TSM that there are now more slots he can use? Do I just add 
new tapes in the extra slots and then perform an 'LABEL LIBV library_name 
SEARCH=YES LABELSOURCE=Barcode CHECKIN=SCRATCH'
3. Verify the results afterwards with 'QUERY DRIVE' and 'QUERY LIBV'

Am I still missing some steps or not? Are there any problems to be expected?

Thanks in advance,

Kurt
