As you have seen you can have two controls paths. Unfortunately only one may be active at a time. Also there is no automatic failover for the 3584. However, you have done a good thing. It is good to have two controls paths. Then if there is a failure you can manually update the control path to the other path.
miles >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15-Aug-03 3:56:10 AM >>> Hi, When I issue a "show libr" I can see an autochanger list. Does that mean I can configure multiple paths to my library? How do I do that? I have enabled an additional control path on my library so under AIX I have /dev/smc0 and /dev/smc1. I can access both of them, but how do I tell TSM to use both? When I try to define an additional I get this response: ANR1723E A path is already defined using TSM01 and LIB_3584_1 In that case I would not have to bother with control paths anymore... Once an IBM CE replaced drive F1R01 - and we all forgot that the control path was running over F1R01 so the library was unavailable at that time.... === Library LIB_3584_1 (type SCSI): === reference count = 31, online = 1, borrowed drives = 0, update count = 0 === basicCfgBuilt = 1, libInfoBuild = 1, definingPathToLibrary = 0 === addLibPath = 0, driveListBusy = 0 === libvol_lock_id=0, libvolLock_count=0, SeqnBase=0 === Library is shared. === library extension at 3A7D5408 ==> autochanger list: === dev=/dev/smc1, busy=0, online=1 Marcel Anthonijsz Central Data Storage Manager (a.k.a. storman) Shell Information Technology International B.V.
