I believe it is the device driver which actually causes the entry to be made

One more thing that bubbled up...
I seem to remember having really weird drive problems
that were related to a mis-behaving smcX device. After
a library reconfig, we had to destroy and rebuild the
smc0 device, the destroy and rebuild the drives and
library definition in ADSM.

Dan, tha
I support a bunch of 3575 tape lib's on AIX servers
and all of them always return an errno 46 when closing
a drive device with tapeutil. Usually this has no
relationship to readiness from a *SM point of view,
though.
Since it sounds like you are a veteran AIX'er, I guess

Gyula - The "error number" is the Unix (AIX) errno, in this case being
ENOTREADY (device not ready). This can show up when the devices
are in an Offline state. It sounds like the hardware is having a
problem; but the absence of e
Hi *SMers,
have any of you seen this?
At one location we have two exactly the same AIX (4.3.2.0) ADSM (3.1.2.40)
servers with 3575 L06 lib with C drives.
One one of the servers some time ago the tape drives failed with error code
46. We tried to upgrade atape, and the microcode as well, but made n
