I have not done this yet, but - Have you installed the FC filesets on AIX
that are required for support of FC? After doing this and connecting library
and then run "cfgmgr" to have AIX pick up new device would be a
few simple steps. (Probably need some FC config steps also).
A quick thought to give you a start.

We are trying to set up TSM on an AIX system and are having problems
getting TSM to see the 3584 library. I have done a search on the adsm-l
archives and did not see anything about defining a 3584 to TSM.
The AIX system is not seeing the 3584 tape library, when any commands that
try to configure or look at the device is issued, an error is returned
$ mkdev -l 'lb0'
Method error (/etc/methods/cfgadsmdd):
0514-051 Device to be configured does not match the physical
device at the specified connection location
cfgadsmdd[valid]: the device is NOT supported
cfgadsmdd[inq..]: free dds
cfgadsmdd[main]: error inquiry or building dds, rc=51
We need this device so we can continuing configuring the TSM server running
on the system. Without configuring the tape library and drives, we can't
configure TSM server.
Part of the problem appears to be that the documenation does not describe
the syntax for specifying a fiber channel device, which is the type of 3584
library we have. It only mentions a SCSI device.
Has anyone successfully defined a fiber channel 3584 to TSM running on AIX?
Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated. We have also
submitted a problem ticket via our IBM support team, but have not heard
anything back from them yet.
