Re: 7.1 tape media library problems TAPMLB01

Depends on your needs, but if you want it to behave as a library you'll
want random. If you want it to behave as an autoloader, then
sequential. I tend to use both based on what I'm doing, but going from
sequential to random almost always demands an IPL of the controller
card. If this library is controlled by a card with an IOP, you need to
do both cards, not just the IOA. Be careful to be sure nothing else
(DASD) is being driven by the IOP or it's gonna be a long day.

So when you change it you need to ipl the card then I take it. What

Sounds like you have recently changed it from sequential to random.

I know you say you have powered off the domain, but have you IPL-ed
the card controlling the tape library. This worked for me when trying
to change the library from one mode to another..
