My situation may be different as I use a fiber MLB shared between multiple
lpars and Power 8's, but this is what I have:

<snip>
WRKCFGSTS *DEV CFGD(*TAP)
Vary off all beginning with TAP. We use a media library, not a device,
and these conflict.

WRKMLBSTS KDVLVTL
Should show:
Device/
Resource Status Allocation
KDVLVTL VARIED ON
TAP31 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP32 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP33 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP34 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP35 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP36 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP37 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED
TAP38 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED

If the status of the media library itself (KDVLVTL) is varied off then use
option 1 to vary it on.

It’s important that the Allocation of the individual drives be
UNPROTECTED. Unless, that drive is currently being used by some other
lpar of IBM i. If the Allocation is not UNPROTECTED, and if it is not
currently in use by some other lpar of IBM i, then use “5=Allocate
unprotected” on it.
