One thing I've found with the TS3310's is that unless you turn off the insert notification/prompt, when you put tapes in the I/O door the library will prompt you for which library to reserve the tapes for. The default is 'SYSTEM', and unless you respond to the prompt on the front panel of the library, the I/O slots remained unassigned and a checkin will produce an error about the slot being inaccessible. If you only have a single logical library configured you can go in through the front panel and turn the prompt off.

There may be a physical issue with it. In TSM interaction with the library, element addresses should be as described in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21219973. Richard Sims
