The redbook is wrong. You don't define the drives on the library client. You define a PATH on the library manager:
define path <library client server name> <drive name on library manager> SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=<library name> DEVICE=<device name on library client> You need to make sure that the DEVICE= name is the same physical drive as the <drive name> on the library manager. For Fibre drives, make sure the WWN's match. You also need to make sure that the library manager and library client(s) are at the same code level.

I'm running 5.1.5.4 on all the boxes. Drives are Fibre channel 3590s. I've defined server to server communication etc., the library and drives on the manager, and the library on the clients. However, when I go to define the drives on the clients, I get a tsm: TSM-SLAVE-2>define drive atl IBMTAPE0 ANR8403E DEFINE DRIVE: Operation not allowed for SHARED libraries. ANS8001I Return code 3. before I even get to create a path. Has anyone gone through this, and what am I doing wrong? Thanks *very* much for your help. Jason
