Hi Everyone!

I have a TSM server on AIX 5.3 and TSM is 5.3.4.2.  I have defined a
drive: vlto2-68 with define drive cdlb_dev vlto2-68.

                               Library Name: CDLB_DEV
                                  Drive Name: VLTO2-68
                                 Device Type: UNKNOWN
                                     On-Line: Yes
                                Read Formats:
                               Write Formats:
                                     Element:
                                 Drive State: UNKNOWN
                                 Volume Name:
                                Allocated to:
                                         WWN:
                               Serial Number:

I then tried to define a path to the drive and it will not let me:

06/19/07 09:53:26     ANR2017I Administrator LIDZR8V issued command:
DEFINE PATH
                       tsmdev vlto2-68 srctype=server desttype=drive
library=cd
                       lb_dev device=/dev/rmt68  (SESSION: 497257)
06/19/07 09:53:26     ANR8972E DEFINE PATH: Unable to find the element
number
                       for drive VLTO2-68 in library CDLB_DEV.  (SESSION:

                       497257)

I have already defined 40 other drives & their paths successfully, but
this one is giving me issues.  From the server it does appear as:

  rmt68            U0.1-P2-I2/Q1-W2102000D77BD375D-LB000000000000   IBM
3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

        Manufacturer................IBM
        Machine Type and Model......ULT3580-TD2
        Serial Number...............1182255815
        Device Specific.(FW)........53Y2

And since this is a virtual drive I then looked at the CDL and the serial
numbers do match.

Has anyone ever had this issue?  Does anyone have any suggestions on what
I might be doing wrong?  Thanks in advance!
