Being that this environment has a few elements of virtualization
involved, have the software layers and drivers that present the Quantum
ATL emulation to the EMC CDL and then present this to AIX 5.3.0.4 been
reviewed and verified in entirety?
TSM can only see what the operating system offers. Hence, if after using
the library definition technique presented by Richard, I would suggest
researching software entities and how they play together. Is the EMC
CDL emulation supported under AIX 5.3? You may be in a 'finger pointing'
environment which could be difficult for any support line to diagnose.
Larry, I understand, give me a call/email should you wish to discuss.

Have you created the device through Smit -> Devices -> TSM Devices?
Because it's not an IBM device, AIX will not recognize it by default,
but it has to be created using the TSM device driver.
So what's new with the ping-pong within IBM :-(, if it's a software
problem they will defer you to hardware who In it's turn will send you
back to software again.

EMC CDL emulating a Quantum P7000 ATL
We are currently running on a P650 with AIX 5.2.0.1, TSM 5.2.3.0 and the
same EMC CDL library.
On Sunday we tried to upgrade to a P570 AIX 5.3.0.4, TSM 5.3.3.0. We
were able to get through the TSM part of the upgrade. The problem we
are not able to resolve is getting AIX to "see" the device for the
library media changer. On the old system this is /dev/lb0. We could
see all 16 drives in AIX and in TSM. We have a PMR open and have been
bounced between AIX and TSM with no answer yet. Looking for some wisdom
from the list.
Thanks,
