William, It depends on the library. The library has the ability to announce the Changer through more than one fibre-channel. You should modify the setting on the library and run cfgmgr again on AIX, one of the smc's will become defined.

William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 12-05-2005 16:52 Please respond to William To: [email protected] cc: Subject: 2 Media Changer I just checked one of TSM Server, it has 2 Media Changer: smc0 Available 0D-08-02 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) smc1 Available 0H-08-02 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) >From TSM Server, it only defines one Media Changer: DEFINE PATH TSMSERVER LTO3584 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY DEVICE=/dev/smc1 ONLINE=YES My question is: If only define 1 Media Changer, TSM Server can't use the second Media Changer, then why does it need 2 Media Changer? If it define the second Media Changer as following: DEFINE PATH TSMSERVER LTO3584 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY DEVICE=/dev/smc0 ONLINE=YES Will TSM automatically use the second Media Changer? TIA
