Steve - Can't tell from your posting if you're referring to the TotalStorage
guide, but the following manuals should be in your collection, the
first one being vital to your task:
"IBM TotalStorage Tape Device Drivers: Installation and User's Guide",
(GC35-0154) (a renaming of the earlier manual "IBM SCSI Tape Drive, Medium
Changer, and Library Device Drivers: Installation and User's Guide", of the
same publication number)
"IBM TotalStorage Tape Device Drivers: Programming Reference" (GC35-0346)
(a renaming of the earlier manual "IBM SCSI Tape Drive, Medium Changer, and
Library Device Drivers: Programming Reference" (WB2107))
Available at ftp://ftp.storsys.ibm.com/devdrvr/Doc/
(refer to the .message or README file in that directory)
or ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Doc/ as files:
IBM_TotalStorage_tape_IUG.ps or IBM_TotalStorage_tape_IUG.pdf
IBM_TotalStorage_tape_PROGREF.ps or IBM_TotalStorage_tape_PROGREF.pdf
