Hi.  Has anyone out there successfully used the TMSCP protocol
to serve tape devices across a VAXcluster?

I have 2 VAXstation VLCs and 1 VAXstation 3100 in LAVC; all are
running VMS 5.5-1.  All have SCSI drives, which are served to all
nodes in the cluster.

Today I connected an 8mm tape drive (from TTi) to one of the VLCs,
and the device shows up locally, but not across the cluster.  The
TMSCP server is enabled on all nodes, and the SYSGEN parameter
TMSCP_LOAD = 1 for good measure, even though that is the default
setting for all nodes.  The tape drive is also SCSI and works fine
on the local node.

Can anyone see a step that I might be missing?  I would figure that
bringing up the tape drive across the cluster would be as easy as
the disks, but something's missin'.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
