: LTO drive replacement when using switch zoning
Gill,
I suspect that the ce had the drive in service mode, either to swap
the
drive for another one, or to run diag tests. The ce would have to take
it
out of service mode. This can be done from the front panel of the
library.
Or some cable

It is undocumented, but when replacing fibre-connected LTO drives you
must halt and restart the TSM server in order for it to correctly sense
the new serial numbers. Nothing will work on the new replaced

If one is using the ibm 3584(aka TS3500) then the wwn does not changes
on
a straight up swap-out. The wwn goes with the slot in the library used
to
hold the tape drive and not the tape drive itself. And with lto-3
Hi all,
This situation has never happened to me before so I'm a little unsure of
the steps and order to fix it. Running AIX 5.3 with a TSM instance at
5.5.1. LTO drives are zoned in through a switch to the TSM server, 2
drives to each fibre card. Support for the IBM drives was not renewed
