Maybe its because the DEVICE TYPE in the DEVICE CLASS and the DRIVE
DEFINITION differ ( 4MM vs GENERICTAPE) ?

Subject:  4 mm internal tape problems


Hello fellows....

I have  a bit of a problem, the scenario is as follows.

We are running AIX 4.3.3 and have recently moved from ADSM 3.xx to TSM 4.2.
Attached is a IBM 3583 Ultrium tape robot.

The 3583 is working fine and I can do backups.
For my database backups I used the internal 4 mm tape station in ADSM and
thought I'd continue doing that in TSM (or is it better to use the 3583 LTO
robot?). I have defined a device class for the 4mm and a Manual library and
drive. How ever when I try to make a DB backup I get the error below,
insufficient mount points. This worked fine in ADSM before on the same Unix
box.
I cant figure out why.
The 4 mm was installed and defined before the TSM server was installed. Do
I need to remove the device defenition in AIX and redefine it? Or is it
simply an error in my setup?

Anyone have any ideas?

Below is my config.
