That's exactly what I am expecting too. I assume that you can have a library SCSI attached as opposed to LAN (as I have). But in my case SCSI target IDs etc do not matter as I only point to an alias defined in the ibmatl.conf file. I also will have to change the drives from /dev/rmt/0stc,1stc to 2

TSM Netware Limitation

All, Novell and IBM appear to be passing the book on this known issue below, I had hoped the latest client from Tivoli would resolve, TSA5UP18.exe from Novell does not fix this issue. Novell say the resolution should come from IBM and IBM say its up to Novell, bottom line neither have fixed this

Hi Andy! I was being hit by APAR IC45627. I had a hard time recreating the problem too, because I was using the 5.3.2.0 client, which already contains the fix for this APAR. The customer experiencing the problem was using the 5.3.0.0 base code. I will have him upgrade his version. Thank you very

Just to add a note...we have 4 3494s of various ages. It seems that the older ones had a shiny metal helix that was covered with lubrication, but the newer library's helixes are covered with some black Teflon-like coating. I ~believe~ that our IBM CE said that no lubrication was necessary

3584 library: problems with some trays

2006-03-20 Thread Jurjen Oskam
Hi there, Some time ago we experienced a power failure that lasted long enough to make us shut down our 3584 library. This was done gracefully, and when the power came back we turned the library back on. The TSM server was also gracefully shut down and turned back on. After TSM came back, I did

I have a guess. I have a 3494, so I might be wrong, but I will take a shot. When you configure the tape library to have 2 tape grippers, you lose access to the top 2 and bottom 2 tape slots in every column. This is done so that if one of the grippers fails, the accessor can still

Is this something you folks are seeing in all frames, or in just one? We just upgraded one library to this code not long ago, and I'd like to check and see whether it's affecting us as well. That particular library also has a fair amount of empty space, but we're supposed to upgrade another one
