Hi, I have a 3590 E11 drive shared by 2 RS/6000 servers say server A & server B, running AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 5.1. I have a peculiar problem on this drive.
The ACF magazine has total 10 slots but server A can not access (labeling, check-in operations are not possible) slot number 7 & 8 (TSM level slot number 38 & 39). If I just place 2 tapes in these slots, the LIB reports no volumes available to label. If I try to use the same drive with server B running AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 5.1, server B can access these slots (i.e. labeling, check-in operations are possible). If I place 2 tapes in these slots, I can label the tapes in slot no 7 & 8. Can someone help me out why is t happening ? Thanks & regards Sachin Ganu IBM Global Services(India)
