Hmm, I can't say we've seen that issue yet. 

        We are upgrading our TSM servers to AIX5.2/TSM5.2.1.3 and
upgrade the Atape (8.3.6.0) and atldd (5.4.8.0) drivers along the way
before we ever try to start up the TSM server. We have completed 2 of
the 8 servers so far.

        Have you tried deleting the drives and paths from the TSM server
and then re-defining them? That sometimes is the silver bullet. If that
fails, you could always try to rip out the Atape drivers and reinstall
them. Here is a snippet from our procedure.

***********************************
 Update ATLDD drivers: 
uninstall atldd drivers. 
# lsdev -Cc tape 
# rmdev -dl lmcp0 
# /usr/lpp/atldd/deinstl/lpp.deinstal 

install atldd drivers 
# cd /mnt/atldd.5480 
# installp -acqd atldd.5.4.8.0.bin all 

check to see if new version is committed 
# lslpp -l atldd.driver 

redefine lmcp 
# smitty tape... add.. choose atl.. F4 at library name ...enter 

check to see if configuration is still OK. 
# smitty tape -> change.. -> make sure library is still there. 

Update ATAPE drivers: 
uninstall Atape drivers 
# rmdev -dl rmt0 -> all drives 
# /usr/lpp/Atape/deinstl/lpp.deinstal 

install Atape drivers 
# cd /mnt/Atape.8360 
# installp -acqd Atape.8.3.6.0.bin all 

check to see its new version is committed 
# lslpp -l Atape.driver 

*reconfigure the drives and daemons* 
# cfgmgr -S 
# lsdev -Cctape -> make sure all drives & daemons are available with the
right SCSI IDs.

        What about the TSM device drivers? Are you at
tivoli.tsm.devices.aix5.rte 5.2.1.0 ?

This seems to be a hot topic, so let me add another log to the fire.

We recently upgraded our test TSM AIX server to AIX 5.1.  Then we
upgraded the TSM server to 5.2.0.0.

Unfortunately, I missed the part about having to upgrade ATAPE to 8.2.x
(it was still at 7) *BEFORE* upgrading TSM.

Therefore, the 3590 drive isn't being recognized by TSM (AIX says it is
peach-keen).

Upgraded ATAPE to 8.3.x, but still no joy in Mudville !!!  Even tried
removing and reinstalling the ADSM/TSM drivers.

How do you resolve this ?

Will upgrading TSM to 5.2.1.3 (yes, we discovered you must upgrade to
5.2.1.x before you can install 5.2.1.3 !!) correct this oversight ?
