What do you mean TSM only sees one - the TSM driver creates only one
mtX.X.X.X device, you have only one in "Query DRives" or have defined only
one path (server -> drive)?
Manual drives are just like other ones. If you assume something like "def
path manuallib srctype=server desttype=library
dev=LBserver_room.human_operator" the rest is just the same. If drives are
of same technology you can group them in "multi-head" library. If are
different each drive type must form separate library.
In your case:
- if the problem is with the driver, handle it as usual - check first
isn't Windows grabbing the drives before TSM driver.
- if configuration problem, check that you have 1 library in "q libr
<manual_lib>", 4 drives in "q dr <manual_lib>" and 4 paths (1 for each
drive) in "q path".

Hi all,

I have a test TSM server running 5.1.5.2 on W2K.  There is a QUANTUM DLT
7000 SCSI attached 4 drive manual library.  I am using the TSM device
driver
to see the tape drive.  I can label and use a tape in one of the drives.

The problem is there is 4 tape drives, but TSM only sees one.  Is there a
driver or configuration issue??  My experience in manual drives is very
limited so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Matt
