You hit it right on the head. The library manager has to be the higher of the software code levels.

The physical device tape0, as seen by the library manager, has the devicename mt1.0.0.3. The same tape drive on the client, however, sees the tape drive as devicename mt3.0.0.5. (We can tell this by the tape drive serial numbers being reported.) We've deleted all but one library manager-defined path from the library client to the tape drive, and we've tried both mt definitions in the library manager's path statements--the one from the library manager and the one from the library client. In both cases, the manager changes ownership of the library volume, mounts the volume in the drive, and then the client waits and waits, and finally times out with the ANR8779E error message. We're stumped. The only thing that I can think is that the library client is at 5.4.2 and the library server is at 5.4.1. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Fred Johanson > Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 12:22 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Library manager/library conundrum > > If you're SAN connected, Q SAN on the client supplies the device name > for each path. > > Fred Johanson > TSM Administrator > University of Chicago > > 773-702-8464 > > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Remco Post > Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 12:04 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Library manager/library conundrum > > On Oct 2, 2008, at 18:33 , Mark Stapleton wrote: > > > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > > Of Paul Zarnowski > >> Double check your element numbers and paths to the drives.
