Error description

  • Tape library does not initialize properly after reboot
    
    When Tivoli Storage Manager reboots, the library is not
    accessible
    Looks like the required permissions are not initialized properly
    by autoconf after reboot for accessing the library
    
    
    The issue is caused by incorrect permission settings caused by
    autoconf after reboot
    

Local fix

  • Change the device special file's permissions to 666 (global rw)
