That's what I was fearing... :-) I was kidding... I finally discovered what was happening...
The devclass was created with format dds4c but the driver format doesn't have this write or read format. I don't know how to include another drive format or even if it is possible, so I changed the devclass to format dds3c and the migration worked fine. I don't know how TSM could realize which formats are available for the drive . I would like to express a special grateful to Mark Stapleton, Mahesh Prasad, Jason Cain, Daniel Sparrman, Richard Sims, Victoria Ortepio and Bill Boyer who helped me to understand what was wrong Thanks!!! > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Can I consider this a normal behavior for a manual libtype?
