As far as I know, the tape library checking TSM does during initialization is 
pretty much the same as an 'audit library' command. The documentation for that 
command does not suggest that it would be capable of detecting the appearance 
of an I/O station in an existing library. My guess is that you will need to 
delete and redefine the library to get TSM to recognize the presence of the I/O 
station. This would entail checking out the volumes before deleting the library 
and checking them in after redefining the library.
