Good day all

Please note that the hardware was replaced and the problem resolved. It
seems as though the barcode reader was coursing the problem. 

Thanks for the responds. 

Regards

I think you mean ADIC FastStor 2.
Your posting doesn't say anything about the all-important driver you
are using with the library and drives.  Make sure you are adhering to
the information provided on the Web page "Supported devices for AIX,
HP, SUN and Windows",
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Support
ed_Devices_for_AIXHPSUNWIN.html
as linked from the TSM Support Page
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorag
eManager.html

Assure that you are employing a 32- or 64-bit driver which matches
your operating system, according to the IBM information.  And always
test that the library and drive are functional at the operating system
level before trying to use with TSM: if it doesn't work at the OS
level, it sure isn't going to work in TSM.

When using the TSM device driver, you can test with the 'lbtest'
command (see Technote 1049959); and there is the 'ntutil' command.
