Someday I'll learn to read the whole backlog of internal email before
posting a "problem" (I was offsite all day yesterday). The "door to the
twilight zone" is apparently closed:
===========================================
I believe I found the problem with the tape drives...
We all ranges of tape units defined as auto switchable, and within these
ranges, some are only defined as auto switchable between PROD1 and PROD2.
Yesterday, there were problems with tape unit 0166. To clear the problem,
the drive was varied offline, reset, and then the range (0164-0167) was
varied online using the ROUTE TAPESYS command (which does it on all
systems).
BUT...0164-0167 are not defined as auto switchable on one of the systems.
Since they were varied online to that system, it "owned" the tape drives and
PROD1/PROD2 could not get at them as auto switchable devices.
Since tape usage is sporadic on the third system anyway, I will define all
available tapes on it as autoswitchable so that PROD1 and PROD2 can grab
them as needed.
===========================================
Maybe somebody else can avoid this....
