Greetings!

I am currently testing a new Qualstar 88264 LTO tape library with TSM 5.1.5

The old (Scalar100) tape library was single Scsi HVD I/F cabled up as

        IF1.    MT1...MT2...CNTRL...TERM

This new library is set up for 2 SCSI LVD I/F's as;

        IF1.  MT3...MT4...CNTRL...TERM
        IF2.    MT1...MT2...TERM

I have 2 problems >>>

1.      TSM only wants to use the tape drives on IF1.
2.      The drives are failing on dismount

                                       in the drive.


Can anyone please shed some light on...

        Is this how it should be cabled?
        How to get all 4 drives to work?
        How to get the tapes to unload without failing!!!!!

Many Thanks in anticipation...
