The document you reference is peculiar.  It says the "server may have to
be restarted or the library audited or possibly redefined", but it doesn't
make clear the cases where it needs to be redefined.

AFAIK, when you change the number of slots in a TSM SCSI library, you have
to delete the library and drive definitions and redefine them.

Here's what I think you need to do:

Check out your tapes with REMOVE=NO
Make a copy of your DEVCONFIG file
Delete your paths
delete your drives
delete your library
Use the commands in the copy of your DEVCONFIG file to recreate the
library and drive and path definitions.  (leave the SERIAL # off the
define drive command, let TSM figure it out.)  TSM will pick up the new
slots.

CheCK YOUR tapes back in.
(You can make it easier by running a checkin for ALL tapes (search=yes) as
STATUS=SCRATch.  TSM will skip those that shouldn't be scratch.  Then run
a second checkin for all tapes status=PRIVATE.

Anybody got a different opinion?
