Check SMITTY and talk with your CE --- maybe look up and decode the error
data;  you may need to redefine the devices to AIX, make sure your AIX
drivers are installed, run cfgmgr (rather than manually defining devices to
AIX), then delete and re-do DEFINEs (LIBR and DRIVE) to TSM.  If smitty
hangs, you gotta reboot the machine --- that can happen if someone's been
popping serial cables/options while the system is running.
