Sam, We had a similar problem. The library reconfigure itself every time you have had the door open, it reads some barcode labels internally that tells it what HW is installed and the barcode could be dirty/destroyed such that it isn't aware of the magazines in the door. HW support should be able

Lawrence, I guess you are talking about 3590 drives in a 3494 library? For that there are some good info in the README file for the server (see below). We upgraded all the drives to E drives at the same, if you only got 2 then it makes sense to do both at the same time. Just remember to put all

Mixed SCSI/SAN drives in LAN free, is that possible?

Hi, I have been asked by my customer if it is possible to mix SCSI and SAN attached drives on TSM servers that are to perform LAN free backup. I know that I need to drivemapp all the SAN drives but what will TSM do with the SCSI attached drives, is it cleaver enough to make sure that it doesn't

Re: Mixed SCSI/SAN drives in LAN free, is that possible?

else is using the drive that it can't. Drive map all the SAN drives??? What you could do which is relatively inexpensive is attach your 3590's to San Data Gateways which attach to the SAN and then they would all be SAN attached. Good luck Becky -Original Message- From: Norback, Jan

Richard, PPRC is a true copy of the original (at least that is how it is supposed to be) thus partially written files will be partial writhed files on the PPRC copy too. I suggest that you use TSM mirroring (I assume you use the ESS in RAID 5). I hope your customer understands the statement about
