Did you install atape and atldd? Before using tsm make sure that mtlib can talk to it. You can test that by simply doing an mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qL This will tell you if the machine can talk to the tape library. If it can't make sure that you can ping it and that the /etc/ibmatl.conf is configured properly. Good luck Becky

Last weekend we did a migration to a new AIX/box with our TSM 4.2.1.9 server. Everthing was configured, installed. We were unable to test the 3494 library 'cause it was attached to the production environment, and we had no spare available at the location. This is what we did. SOURCE -------------------- RS/6000 - S70 AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.2.1.9 1 x 3494 7 x SCSI 3590E 1 x ESS ( 2 x Fibre Channel point to point) TARGET ------------------ RS/6000 - H80 ( New BOX) AIX 4.3.3 ( Cleanly Installed ) TSM 4.2.1.9 ( Cleanly Installed ) 1 x 3494 (Moved from source) 7 x SCSI 3590E (Moved from source) Seperate ESS ( 2 x Fibre Channel point to point) Library definitions: define library libm libt=349x devi=/dev/magstar (lmcp0) define dev 3590 devt=3590 format=drive mountl=drives define drive libm drive dev=/dev/rmt1 We did these actions before on disaster recovery tests, and it worked fine all the time. BUT NOW, we have preconfigured the whole environment, and started a restore db. We got the message that the library type did not support this action. We defined all settings like we always did. We needed to define a manual tape library to do the restore. Automated restore db's used to work fine. How come it doesn't work now? Could this be a bug? Or did we make a mistake after all? Ilja G.
