Matching APARs.  Note the dates and closed status. These are for 3.7 and
4.1.
Pretty confusing. Does someone have a newer APAR?

================================================================
APAR= IC29523  SER=                            IN INCORROUT
DATABASE RESTORE WILL FAIL FOR 3494 LIBRARY IF THE LIBTYPE IS
NOT MANUAL IN THE DEVCONFIG FILE.

Error Description:
When performing a database restore using a device class
associated with a 3494 library, the restore will fail with the
following errors:
   ANR8416E DEFINE LIBRARY: The DEVICE parameter is invalid for library type
MANUAL.
   ANR9999D admdbbk.c(4144): Error 272 creating device class 3590CLASS.

The error above indicates that the libtype specified in the
DEFINE LIBRARY command is manual, however, from the device
configuration file we can see that this is not accurate:
   /* Device Configuration */
   DEFINE DEVCLASS 3590CLASS DEVTYPE=3590 FORMAT=DRIVE
   MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60 MOUNTRETENTION=60 PREFIX=ADSM
   LIBRARY=3494
   DEFINE LIBRARY 3494 LIBTYPE=349X DEVICE=3494
   PRIVATECATEGORY=300 SCRATCHCATEGORY=301 SHARED=NO
   DEFINE DRIVE 3494 DRIVE1 DEVICE=//dev/rmt/0st ONLINE=YES
.
Based on the information in the device configuration file, the
ANR8416E message is clearly erroneous.  In order to successfully
restore the database using the 3494 library, the customer must
change the libtype in the DEFINE LIBRARY command to manual.  The
volume(s) required for the restore must then be mounted in the
appopriate drive via mtlib.
.

To recreate this problem:
   1. Create a devconfig file using the DEFINE DEVCLASS, DEFINE
      LIBRARY and DEFINE DRIVE commands listed above.
   2. Attempt a database restore using the 3590CLASS device
      class (i.e. dsmserv restore db devclass=3590CLASS)
.
This problem has been seen on AIX and Solaris with the TSM 3.7.x
and 4.1.x levels of Server code.

Error Description:
When performing a database restore, only the libytpes of SCSI
and MANUAL are supported.  Any attempt to restore the TSM
database using the libtype of 349X will fail.  This limitation
is addressed in APAR IC29523, however, the TSM Server manuals do
not document this limitation.
