Kurt,

Thanks for describing the fix.  I've often wondered if a simple restart
would work.  I, like others, usually delete all and redefine all.

I've got it solved finally. The new added slots on the physical library
were not yet allocated to the logical partition TSM is using. Which
explains why TSM didn't find them.

A simple restart of TSM did discover the new added slots afterwards.

Mvg,
Kurt
