Hi!

I've a big problem with the connectivity between the TSM software and the 
tapedrive. I have installed the TSM Software (4,2..) on a AIX RS/6000 Server 
and a Utlrium Autoloader connected on a HVD Controller... When I try to access 
the Autoloader with the "tapeutil" toll, I can access teh autloader and test 
the device (move tapes, R/W tests... a.s.o) but when I try to define the drive 
in the TSM software the TSM reports an error message, that there is a I/O 
error...

DEFINE DRIVE 3581LIB_1 LTO_DRIVE_1 DEVICE=/dev/smc0 ONLINE=YES
ANR8420E DEFINE DRIVE: An I/O error occurred while accessing drive LTO_DRIVE_1.

but, when the connectivity between the server and the autoloader is not working 
properly, it shouldn't be possible to connect via the tapeutil tool..

Has anybody an idea, where the problem is???

Sincerely
Robert Mueller
