Hi,
After adding slots to the library, a simple restart of TSM will detect
the new slots. See the thread I've opened a while ago with the same
question:
http://adsm.org/lists/html/ADSM-L/2007-08/msg00027.html
A week ago, I've added again 400 slots to our tape library and they were
detected after the restart of TSM (the software, not the server).
Regards,
Kurt
