Bob,

A longshot....

Go to the admin console on the drive and check if the drives don't run in
controller mode this is the mode for connecting to zSeries.

Happened to me once.. took me two weeks to find out...

The CE that did the upgrade and has to alter this mode was used to zSeries.
So kept on telling me that he installed the drives correct...

NOT...

success,

Koen.

What does 'query drive' tell you?

If they are all listed as offline, you should be able to do 'update
drive' to bring them back on line.

Most likely TSM was trying to mount tapes while the library had the
drives listed as unavailable.
