Steve,
I sure don't have Tom's TSM expertise, so 'grain of salt' this -- but my TSM admin
had to do a db restore on a 3494 (due to an auditdb gone bad) at version 5.1.x.x. He
did have to define the 3494 as a manual library to access the db tape. I'm thinking
your desttype='library' is the problem. In our devconfig, it was 'drive'. Here is
the devconfig file he used:
/* Device Configuration */
DEFINE DEVCLASS 3590CLASS DEVTYPE=3590 FORMAT=DRIVE MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60
MOUNTRETENTION=5 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=3494LIB
SET SERVERNAME BLAHBLAH01
DEFINE LIBRARY 3494LIB LIBTYPE=manual
DEFINE DRIVE 3494LIB DRIVE1
DEFINE PATH BLAHBLAH01 DRIVE1 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=3494LIB
DEVICE=/dev/rmt1 ONLINE=yes

Steve --
Manual libraries are just that - Manual - and do not have a path to the
library.
You need to use the local library management system (I'm not familiar with
3494 as such) to mount tapes by hand for the restore.
