Re: TS3200 tape library without BRMS.

that's what I found...
I found a link in infocenter that may be helpful:

Tape library use without a media management application
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=%2Frzam4%2Frzam4usewoapp.htm


However, when I first created the device, I made it just a *TAP
device, now I am having trouble performing the media library
(CRTDEVMLB), I get "Device is not operational" on the vary on
command...

however, I do think this should fall under IBM support... I just may
call them.


Hmmm, that message came just before I sent my last reply about using "Work with Media Library Status" (WRKMLBSTS) command. I recall that the Tape *DEVD must be varied-off first, and then the MLB that is defined on that same tape Resource Name (RSRCNAME) [as the tape drive] can be varied-on. The 1=Vary on _and_ 2=Vary off on the WRKMLBSTS refer to the MLB; of course.
