The library won't show up in control panel...tape devices. Check to make
sure that the library manager service is running in Control
Panel...Services - I think its called "IBM Automated Tape Library" by
default.
You can also test the communication between NT and the library by using the
lbtest utility. It's located in *:\program files\tivoli\tsm\utils by
default. Just type in "lbtest" from the command line in that directory and
then select 1 to run a manual test. There are several tests you can run
all driven by a menu system. I usually select 9 to return the library
inventory to test if things are working.

Yes a q drive does show them as online. Show libr also lists them. I am
using WIN NT. When I go to control panel and click on tape devices they are
not listed there.
