Hi Bo

1. The documentation is incorrect. The correct command should be "update 
path".

2. What kind of tape drive are you using? The fact you're using Gresham 
tells me you're probably using STK drives. Have you installed the correct 
tape drivers for your tape technology (e.g. 9840B/C, Ultrium or 9940A/B)?

3. Is your SAN correctly zoned? Do you have any unkown devices?

I would probably need more information on how your solution is setup to be 
able to help you with the issue of the tapes not being seen by the 
operating system.

Best Regards

Hi Ricard and TSM_user

Thanks for the help.

But I can't still see the tapedrive from the Windows server.

Are you looking at the right documentation version for your system? For
example, the 5.2.2 Admin Guide for Windows on page 185 illustrates
performing an "update path" to define the externalmanager, not "update
library".
