Well, in this case, it isn't, sortof.......
I don't have *ANY* path statements on the client, that refer to these
drives. All that is defined on the client is the SHARED LIBRARY. This is
another TSM server, not just a storage agent.
The path statements on the library manager are duplicated for the client,
pointing to the client as the SOURCE server....and yes, both sets of
definitions point to the same /dev/rmtx.
I am beginning to wonder if it has to do with the different levels of
ATAPE. The client is much newer (8.4.1.0) while the library manager is
8.3.x.
