I'm getting there. Actually, I think I'm there except for one thing that may not be an issue, but it appears to be. Mikey_D, thanks for your help. You once again got me going in the right direction on this. The documentation (to me anyway) isn't as straightforward as I would have expected.

Is anyone familiar enough to know if the path info listed from a "tapelist" is significant (Path Type / Current Active Path)? It's labeling all paths as the Alternate path, yet saying the active path is the Primary path (though none are labeled as Primary paths). The 100 series should be Primary, the 900 should be the Alternate. As for the library paths, the 521 should be Primary, the 526 should be the Alternate.
Here's my config.

.../usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf
