It turns out that what I missed is that on AIX for 3592 drives you have to enable 8 characters at the 3584 AND via a "smitty devices" on the Library Media Changer (smc0) which translates to a " chdev -l 'smc0' -a tsm_barcode_len='8' ".

I checked all volumes out from my test tsm, enabled 8 char volsers, and checked tapes back in. When I do a "q libvol" I still seeing 6 char volsers not 8 char. What did I miss? David
