The problem has been resolved!  Following Richard's suggestion to create
the device through Smit made it work.  Thanks again for your help.

With kind regards,

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.

Onderwerp: [ADSM-L] Missing device for library media changer.

AIX 5.3.0.4
TSM 5.3.3.0
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,
