Once again, thanks Richard. I found an APAR that matched exactly. Stop and
start TSM then redifine the path and it worked. Something about TSM only
looking for the element number on initialization. I've only recently
started using this SCSI library, moved from an old 3494. Before that was
external STK libraries with ACSLS and Gresham..... Not having a real
library manager makes things different sometimes.

Re: Can't Define Drive Path
Curtis,
This is not my area of expertise, but have you tried shutting down and
restarting both TSM server and the library? That *might* do the trick.
Regarding the problem displaying message ANR8972E:
> 04/04/2005 09:10:57 << Message number 8972 not available for
language
> /USR/LIB/NLS/MSG/EN_US/ >> (SESSION: 50073)
Check the message catalog to ensure that it matches your installed TSM
server version, and that your language environment is configured correctly
(see the National Language Support appendix in the Quick Start book).
Regards,
Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
