---- Good day Thanks for the responds, for the medium changer and the drive we are using the following, Certance Medium Changer (Manufacturer) with IBM Device driver dated 10/25/2006 version 5.3.4.1 Quantum LTO 2 Tape drive (Manufacturer) with IBM device driver dated 8/31/2006 version 5.3.4.0 When we use rsm, we can only get the to label or check in tapes however we cannot migrate the data off disk or even run a database backup to tape. The error we get is insufficient number of mount points. However when we use the IBM device drivers, we get I/O error reading label, with the error below ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE0 (mt6.0.0.5) with volume (OP=SETMODE, Error Number=87, CC=207, KEY=05, ASC=26, ASCQ=00, SENSE=70.00.05.00.00.00.00.1E.00.00.00.00.26.00.00.8D.00.0C.00.00.00.00. , Description=Device is not in a state capable of performing request). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. ANR8357I Error reading label of volume from slot-element 2 in drive DRIVE0 (mt6.0.0.5) of library ADICFS2. Somehow I agree that we are sitting with the driver problem, could you please advice us on the correct drivers to use for this configuration.

Your posting doesn't say anything about the all-important driver you are using with the library and drives. Make sure you are adhering to the information provided on the Web page "Supported devices for AIX, HP, SUN and Windows", http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Support ed_Devices_for_AIXHPSUNWIN.html as linked from the TSM Support Page http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorag eManager.html Assure that you are employing a 32- or 64-bit driver which matches your operating system, according to the IBM information. And always test that the library and drive are functional at the operating system level before trying to use with TSM: if it doesn't work at the OS level, it sure isn't going to work in TSM. When using the TSM device driver, you can test with the 'lbtest' command (see Technote 1049959); and there is the 'ntutil' command. Richard Sims
