Hello again TSMers Regarding migration steps to TSM 5.1 (from 4.2.2.12 on a Solaris 2.7 machine), do I need to follow any of the steps below (or similar). We only have one IBM 3494 lib with two IBM 3590 tape drives. The documentation shows info for non-IBM devices, but I wondered if a similat thing had to be done for IBM ones.
The steps requested are as follows :- 7.The previous procedure replaces the TSM tape, optical and library device drivers (non-IBM). You must now reconfigure the device � � � �drivers into the kernel, so that the device special file names are consistent. � � � � � a.Note the existing device special file names. You may want to redirect them to a file. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � � |ls -l /dev/rmt/*mt � � � � � � � �(tape) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �| � � � � � � |ls -l /dev/rmt/*lb | grep lb@ (library) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | � � � � � � |ls -l /dev/rmt/*op � � � � � � � �(optical) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � b.Remove the device special files. The device drivers were removed from the kernel when the previous packages were � � � � � � removed. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � � |rm /dev/rmt/xmt � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | � � � � � � |rm /dev/rmt/xlb � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | � � � � � � |rm /dev/rmt/xop � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | | � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �| � � � � � � | � Where x is the appropriate number � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �| +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � c.Reconfigure the device drivers: +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � � |add_drv mt � � � � � � � �(tape) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �| � � � � � � |add_drv lb � � � � � � � �(library) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | � � � � � � |add_drv op � � � � � � � �(optical) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � d.Compare the device special file names with the names noted in step 7a and note any differences. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � � |ls -l /dev/rmt/*mt � � � � � � � �(tape) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �| � � � � � � |ls -l /dev/rmt/*lb | grep lb@ (library) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | � � � � � � |ls -l /dev/rmt/*op � � � � � � � �(optical) � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ � � � � � � After you start TSM, use the UPDATE PATH command to make any device special file name changes.
