Cannot get tapes labelled
Hi All,
I am having problems with replacing a SCSI LTO tape drive in my 3584
library. Usually a routine procedure, but this time I am having major
difficulties. Whenever I try to redefine the path for this particular
drive I get the following error: ANR8972E DEFINE PATH: Unable to find the
Hi,
By any change has there been a hardware change?
- delete drive from ITSM config,
- reboot Windows
- define drive serial=autodetect
- define path to drive

also updated the changer and tape device drivers on the server as well.

No, for some weird reason I didn't get those responses, but I was finally
able to label the volumes with: label libvol cdlb_dev search=yes
volrange=db,db0209 labelsource=barcode.
Thank you everyone for your responses! I really appreciate the help!
It sounds like the serial information to me. Did you try the
serial=autodetect when defining it? I had to do this the last time I added
some LTO3 drives.

Hello,
I noticed that when I do a query ' q libv' , it shows a list of
volumes with 'Private ' and 'Scratch' status. We have two instances, TSMSky
and TSMSun shared the same library 3584.
My question is ...
1) how do you designate ownership to volumes?
2) does the ownership change back to

As I see it, there are two areas where you get performance hits when
restoring from non-collocated volumes:
1) Tapes Mounts: In my experience my VTL makes this problem
insignificant.
2) Spinning Sequential Media: Yes, VTL volumes are sequential and if
you define your tapes as 50GB native and
I can't speak for everybody's product out there, but the EMC CDL (EDL)

It would be a simple script to look at all scratch tapes

Hi,
1) You can change ownership of a scratch volume by using the 'upd libv
owner= stat=' command. See help upd libv
2) Yes, the volumes used by the library client (TSMSun) will be return
to the scratch pool. The scratch pool is managed by the library manager
and both ITSM servers can use tapes
I'm not looking at the spinning through the volume to find the file, I'm
focused on the fact that a volume can only be accessed by one client at a
time. You have to read the data to be restored, which takes time. If you
have one client reading the volume, any other access to that volume has to
Yes a virtual tape volume can be accessed only by one client at a time
and if two processes/clients try to access the same volume at the same
time one process/client must wait. Again smaller volume sizes decreases
the chance that a contention would happen and also decrease the
