Hi! We just added 4 more AIT-drives to our Qualstar-library. This (SCSI)library can hold up to 12 drives, and we use the (old) element-adresses of 500-511 for the drives. The library has to drive-bays. The left one holds the original 4 drives with element-number 500-503. The new drives were placed in the right bay with element-numbers 506-509.
However, TSM insist that the new drives are at 504-507: tsm: BIT>show slots qualstar PVR slot information for library QUALSTAR. Library : QUALSTAR Product Id : TLS-412360 Support module : 4 Mount count : 0 Drives : 8 Slots : 360 Changers : 1 Import/Exports : 1 Device : /dev/rmt/8lb Drive 0, element 500 Drive 1, element 501 Drive 2, element 502 Drive 3, element 503 Drive 4, element 504 Drive 5, element 505 Drive 6, element 506 Drive 7, element 507 So, I was wondering: Is this a bug, or should drives in this and/or similar SCSI-libraries be mounted without any empty drive-slots inbetween them? Server is 5.3.2.0, Solaris. .
