User response

Make sure the tape drive is controlled by the native device driver. The Tivoli® Storage Manager device driver does not support the generic tape format. If the drive is controlled by the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver and you intend to use the Tivoli Storage Manager tape format with the drive, do not specify GENERICTAPE=Yes when defining a path to the drive.
