Hello TSM'ers! Has anyone running TSM on AIX using 3494/3590 tried the 2.2.1.7-server?
After applying this level last night, I can't get my 3590's to work. When trying to mount a tape, the mount fails. A server-trace show this: 18:46:46.312 <58>mmsflag.c(2889): Opening drive 3590_1 (/dev/rmt1) in library 34 94. 18:46:46.359 <58>pvrntp.c(2734): Testing readiness of drive 3590_1 (/dev/rmt1). 18:46:46.360 <58>psntpop.c(1568): Error performing TESTREADY operation on drive 3590_1 (/dev/rmt1); errno = 22 q mount report the usual "mount point waiting..." After a couple of minutes it times out: 18:47:46.374 <58>mmsflag.c(2941): Drive 3590_1 (/dev/rmt1) in library 3494 timed out. The tape-volume get physically mounted in the drive. Monitored by mtevent. mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qM also report the volume as mounted. The tapedrive itself is online and ready.. Any hints on what to check/what could be wrong, anyone? The readme of 4.2.1.7 refer to IC32125, which has been fixed. I have not had this problem, but it seems to deal with similar problems that I see now. Could it be the the fix for IC32125 that introduce new problems? I did't commit the 4.2.1.7, so I could go back to 4.2.1.6. However, my DB is huge, so I would prefer not to do so if not absolutely neccessary.... AIX is 4.3.2 Atape is 5.4.4.0 atldd is 4.1.5.0 The 3590's are E1A-models, SCSI-connected directly to the server.
