Geoff,

We have a similar issue which appears to have been caused by an engineer
removing the wrong ethernet card during an SSA Disk reconfig excercise. It
may be a connectivity issue. Also, we have had problems where our NT server
reassigned the drive names from mt1.0.0.4 to mt1.0.0.6 (for example) after
the engineers had been pulling cards. After some digging around in the
registry we gathered the 'new' drive info and deleted and redefined the
drive definitions in TSM.

Hope this is of some use,

Matt Thomas
TSM/Storage Admin

Subject: No Drives Available (Help)


For whatever reason I've had, what TSM says is drive problems.

08/06/01 09:33:31     ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library
3494LIB.

This has been going on since this morning. I don't get it because the drives
are available if I q drive. I also see mounts if I q mount. All 4 drives
seem to be working. So now what? I searched back in the log and this just
started happening at 9:30 this morning. I know IBM was in working on 2
drives that MVS has, I don't use or see them. They showed up at 9:20 so it's
obvious this was probably caused by them. They must have taken the library
offline to get at the 2 drives MVS uses. Why that afected me I don't know.

Here is some more of a sequential log listing. I haven't done anything at
all. I was out all last week so I couldn't and nobody else has access. I've
been running fine since my upgrade to 4.2 a few months ago so I have no clue
what's happened. I did a complete system shutdown and restart and this is
still going on.
