Hi All,

     Is anyone doing LAN Free backups on Solaris to an AIX Server?  I have
the Storage Agent connecting fine to the server, but IBMtape on solaris is
not configuring the tape devices.  The tapes are properly zones, as cfgadm
reports them.  I am using TSM 5.2.1.0 of both ther server and storage
agent, and IBMtape 4.1.0.7.

cfgadm -al | grep tape
c4::50050763004057dc           tape         connected    configured
unknown
c4::5005076300406085           tape         connected    configured
unknown
c4::50050763004064e9           tape         connected    configured
unknown
c4::500507630040670b           tape         connected    configured
unknown
c4::5005076300406aeb           tape         connected    configured

c4::50050763004f3901           tape         connected    configured

c6::50050763004065d1           tape         connected    configured

c6::50050763004072d7           tape         connected    configured
unknown
c6::50050763004f3903           tape         connected    configured
unknown
c6::50050763004f3904           tape         connected    configured
unknown

But after I load IBMtape, it does not find these devices, and therefore, I
get no devices in /dev/rmt which I could then use in my define path
statements on the server.

Any ideas on what I am missing?

Thanks,
