Details, you need to supply details. If the TSM server is Windows-based, look at the device manager to see if the library and the tape drives are visible and online. If it's AIX-based, see if the tape drives and library are available (as opposed to defined). Failing that, you need to contact Tivoli support and open a ticket. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
