Hi folks!

We got a V7R1 IBMi and it came with a TS2900 Tape autoloader device which seems pretty cool, but this is the first time that I have to deal with a Media Library device and I do not know how to start using it, I already googled but I couldn't find good a good tutorial, and the lack of IBM's info on how to use the device for the IBMi disappointed me this time.

I already connected the device to the IBMi, loaded the tapes, configured the library as Random, configured the IP to access it through the web interface.

We also had to get a new cable to interface it to the IBMi server, so far, so good. I can see the TAPMLB03 device there and a TAP02 device as well.

I found that I have to get familiar with commands like WRKTAPCTG, ADDTAPCTG, SETTAPCGY, RMVTAPCTG... does anyone has experience with this media library devices and can tell me how to use it? The plan is to use it for our daily backups, I loaded 9 tapes.

Any lead will be appreciated, thank you.
