Henk, I did not have this problem this morning but I can think of a similar situation I'm in with q dr. There are times nothing comes back, the system just sits there. Yesterday I issued a command to do a db backup with RMT1 online. Since nothing was going on it tried to use that drive I'm sure. Once the command was issued the command line did not come back. Yet I queried the activity log and the command was logged. Still the backup did not happen because it tried to use RMT1.
Last week I had a specific volser that did not dismount. Since then RMT1, which it was in, has not worked with TSM. I noticed TSM thinks that volser was not in the library so I had to check it in even though it was never removed. TSM has to be restarted each time RMT1 gets a process to do something because I can't cancel the process, well I can but it still sits there doing nothing. The only way to get out of it is to halt TSM and restart. The real strange thing is, since the 25th, I see an entry in the activity log saying the dismount of that same volume has failed. Yet there is no entry in the log that it tried to mount it in RMT1, except for the 25th, the day it did not dismount. I've removed the drive and re-installed it, still the same problem. THis volume has sucesfully been mounted and dismounted in a different drive since this all happened. I ran traces this morning and sent them off to TSM support. I also sent them off to the IBM folks here that work on the hardware, maybe they can help figure out what's going on. For the trace I took all the drives offline and brought RMT1 online. I tried to do an audit vol on a volser. Nothing was mounted, but I happened to notice in the act log TSM tried to mount a total of 3 different tapes in that drive for the audit process. I would guess the reason for this would be file overlap on other volsers, otherwise I'm clueless. > Cheers, > Henk (still not amused) Me either......
