I figured it out.

Found an old document that says for "mixed media" in a 3494, you have to
define the library, multiple times pointing to the same library. In this
case, we have already been using 3590K tapes. So I defined a second
library and all seems to be working..............

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Make sure that you have the "Mount Limit" set correctly in your 3592
device class...

3592-E05 is not a WORM drive...

We finally got our 3592-E05 drives installed and attached to the SAN in
our 3494 library.

Now I am trying to figure out how to get them to work !   Is there
something special about configuring TSM to use them ?

The server is 5.3.2.3 on AIX.

I did the cfgmgr and the smitty devices to define them to
TSM...................
I bounced the TSM server..............
Defined the DEVICE CLASS 3592.
Defined the paths..........
Defined the storage pool........
Did a:  LABEL libv 3494ATL 085000 checkin=scr devtype=3592
and got the error:

7/31/2006 1:33:55 PM ANR8847E No  3592-type drives are currently available
in library 3494ATL.

Also, looking through the Admin Ref/Guide, there is constant talk about
3592 WORM drives ?

What am I missing ?
