I think I might have left off the meat of the attempt to add the drive ANR8420E DEFINE PATH: An I/O error occurred while accessing drive IBMTAPE0.

Setting up a new TSM server on a Suse Linux lpar on an i5. Working on the copy storage pool. Can't seem to define the drives. Library name is TAPMLB01, type SCSI. It is an IBM 3582-L23 fiber attached. For the "Device special name" I used a putty client and found /dev/IBMchanger0. Then it went into define drives. I selected add drive. For drive name I picked IBMtape0. For Device special name I put in /dev/IBMtape0. Again my putty clients lists several items under /dev, like: IBMchanger0 IBMtape IBMtape0 IBMtape0n IBMtape1 IBMtape1n IBMtape2 IBMtape2n IBMtape3 IBMtape3n IBMtape4 IBMtape4n IBMtape5 IBMtape5n IBMtape6 IBMtape6n Funny thing is we had this half configured once. And a checkin started shifting around tapes. But we had issues and the whole thing got corrupted simply by doing a stop of the linux server without doing a halt of the TSM server first and that was before our first database backup so we get the privilege of starting over.
