Here are a few more ideas. It's a good idea to understand how many CU's are really there. I think it's common to connect only 4 (real) IBM drives to a CU. Did you happen to enter library status commands such as: LI DD,libname CBR1220I Tape drive status: D SMS,LIBRARY(libname),DETAIL CBR1110I OAM library status: I know you set everything up correctly, but I would still issue those commands to see that the drives are not just online but are also SMS-managed. Did you RTFM? (!) IEF289E Operator Response: Should this message persist, contact IBM Support for direction in obtaining a Symptom Record for information about the volume(s) or unit(s) for which the step is waiting.
