Good evening, I've got the following setup: TSM 5.3.2 server on AIX 5.3 TSM 5.3.2 clients on SLES 9 (SP2) on x86_64 HW Adic library with IBM LTO3 FC drives The linux clients can access the library through the SAN and have the IBMtape drivers installed. But if a modification to the library is made (eg a new drive), the Linux servers must reboot in order to detect the new tape drive. Is it not possible to perform some kind of online device discovery in order to update the contents of /proc/scsi/IBMtape without doing the reboot? I've checked already the latest redbooks and IBM Ultrium tape user guide, but they all say 'reboot'. Even on Windows this is not required any more. Or is this a feature of the IBMtape device driver? thanks, Kurt *** Disclaimer ***
