I am not 100% sure, but I do see a tap description that does not seem familiar. I haven't had to look at these in a year, so I could be mistaken.

Rob I think I have the same VTL as you EMC DD2500. My MLB is varied off with online at ipl set to *NO and I have two TAP0* drives varied on that we use.
@Mike, do you happen to have "new" TAP* devices you didn't have before? I seem to recall this same thing happening to me on V7R1 years ago where after applying a tech refresh, we got new resource names and new devices setup. I copied down the new resource names from the new devices, deleted the new devices and reassigned the resource names to the devices we normally used. Then it all worked just fine.

Well, if it's a library with four drives you should NOT see ANY TAP* drives varied on. None. Do a WRKMLBSTS instead.
Ps: Ours is a VTL also.

I hope some one can help me
We have a VTL with 4 tape drives associated with it.
This weekend, I applied, PTFS, technology refresh etc.
Then last night I found that my backup failed.
As I researched, I now have problems with my tape drive configurations.
1 tape drive has 'resource name TAP04 not found The other 3 are varied off, but won't vary back on.
I have contacted the VTL vendor, but they haven't been able to help.
I tried to put in a call to IBM, but couldn't get a ticket created because ' I couldn't provide a 4 digit machine code of the VTL.
I have ipl'd the IOP.
Anything else I can try.
How can I get IBM to help???
Thanks
