Hi all, I currently have a IBM 3583 taperobot (with LTO1 drives) to do my TSM backups. I did a test this week to replace this 3583 by a 3584 with LTO3 drives. I checkout out the tapes, removed the paths to the drives,removed the drives and the library. I recabled the fiber to the 3584. Load the latest Atape driver and set up the zoning.
Everything went well, when I ran the cfgmgr I saw the tapes and the library on my AIX OS platform. Defined the new library in TSM, changed the library name in the device class;created the drives and the paths to the drives again. When I did this the drives were created like this: Library Name Drive Name Device Type On-Line ------------ ------------ ----------- ------------------- 3584_LIB DRIVE0 GENERICTAPE Yes 3584_LIB DRIVE1 GENERICTAPE Yes 3584_LIB DRIVE2 GENERICTAPE Yes 3584_LIB DRIVE3 GENERICTAPE Yes Normally the device type should be LTO as defined in device class. I could agree if this would have happened if I didn't load the correct device driver but this is not the case. Any of you had the same problem?
