Don't think this applies to us this since I never defined the library to
the OS in the fist place.

With our original ATL/3494, both LM servers used IBM3494 ATL/config process
since the connection was IP based.  The TS3500 is Fibre/SAN connected for
control/drive usage and I never defined them as being libraries.  TSM does
that through the drive patch.
