Just to clarify this as applied in TSM 5.3
I have read TSM 5.3 will interrogate the OS and determine what WWN's are
visible down which device points, and maintain correct server and
stagent paths automagically?
Does it work just like that? IE: pathing is transparent in 5.3? Or am I
just being hopefull?

Subject: Re: Library not initialized
Karin,
Not sure if you got if figured out already, but I just went though the
same exact thing, find my posts from before: "tsm tape path ...".
Because I had already blown away all the "old" tape paths, my final
solution was to create new devices/paths. But if your old paths are
still
there try something like this:
UPDATE PATH TSM_SERVER1 LBx.0.0.x SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY
DEVICE=lbx.0.0.x ONLINE=YES
UPDATE PATH TSM_SERVER1 MT1.0.0.3 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE
LIBRARY=LB6.0.0.3 DEVICE=mt1.0.0.5 ONLINE=YES
etc. for each drive you have
If you've already blown away the "old" tape paths, then you need to blow
away all the "old" devices, then recreate new devices (library +
drives),
make sure your server points to the new library, then recreate the paths
for those new devices. THEN, you must checkin all the tapes from the
databse into the "new" library. Checkin scrtach tapes first:
checkin libvol lb6.0.0.5 status=scratch search=yes, checkin libvol
lb6.0.0.5 status=private search=yes.
Then do a similar checkin for private volumes.
My understanding now is that I NEVER reboot the host without the
library/drives attached. Doing so always makes windows/TSM think that
the
old devices are gone, and thus I have to update paths again.
Hope this helps,
Alex
