Hi, Stefan.

In order to import tape you can select the tape library node under Tapes and click Import Library. Or this doesn’t work for you?

In fact, the current version has been tested with IBM ALMS functionality, and everything seems to work fine. Though, there might be certain issues related to I/O port that are supposed to be fixed in the patch#2. Did you face any?

Thanks.

Seems to be the exact issue I was talking about in my previous post. This sort of issues should be fixed in the next patch. Anyway, kindly, open a ticket with our support team as only they will be able to understand whether or not your problem is the known one and whether there is an easy fix for it.

Thanks.
