Darn, that didn't do it.  Back to the drawing board.  Nice try though.

You know, we had a speaker from TSM at our local IBM midrange LUG last night.  When I cornered him after the meeting he mentioned something about AUTODetect also.  Thanks.

I encountered these errors after a TSM-server upgrade + reboot.
"UPDATE DRIVE <LIBRARY> <DRIVE> SERIAL=AUTODetect" fixed the problem.

I have a pmr open to figure out why TSM loses it's tape configs and
gen's the following message whenever you try to use the tape drive after
an IPL of the Suse Linux lpar on a System i.
08/28/2006 12:28:02  ANR8963E Unable to find path to match the serial
number defined for drive TAPMLB011 in library TAPMLB01.(SESSION:
1,PROCESS: 2)
PMR = 27256,500

Since the pmr shows no sign of being resolved in a timely fashion I was
wondering how to script the following steps to run on demand.  Maybe
even automatically after the start of TSM.

q path
q library
q drive tapmlb01 * f=d
q PATH * * F=D
q libv
delete path TSMLINUX TAPMLB011 srctype=server desttype=drive

Seems pretty consistent that when we IPL our Linux partition on our
iSeries TSM will no longer talk to the tape drives.

I do NOT see the serial number.  Am I looking in the wrong spot?
