Sam,

     Made sense to me.  I added a new devclass=cart2 with devtype=cartridge and
prefix=adsm.  I have 100 tape volumes in my export, so the first time I tried
the import command by manually typing in the first few volumes at the command
line, and the process started fine - allocated the first volume, mounted it,
started reading it, etc.  I then cancelled the process and entered the import
node command at the command line with the vol=file:'file_name' parameter, to
which I keep getting an error message ANR0599E Invalid Volume Name G10818
00000100 specified for device class CARTRIDGE.

     I can't figure it out.  It looks as though it thinks the volume G10818
(which is the first volume in the export) is not defined to the storage pool for
the device class, so I also tried defining all 100 volumes to devclass=cart2 and
got the same error message.  I also tried updating the prefix on the
devclass=cartridge to ADSM, but the prefix parameter is not a valid option in
the UPDATE DEVCLASS command.

     Any other ideas?  Am I making this more difficult than it has to be??

Ginny:  This is really not a security issue.  The PREFIX parm in the
DEVCLASS is used to create the data set name and when the import occurs,
it only has the PREFIX on the import DEVCLASS on which to build what it
thinks the name is on the tape to pass to the operating system.  In your
case, I would think the easiest way around this would be to create an
additional DEVCLASS on your import machine with the PREFIX you are
importing.
