Re: Q STG hangs during reclamation

2006-03-01 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
I see the exact same thing on our TSM servers. After speaking to IBM they state that the hang is down to a component of the database not being able to respond during what ever process is running. During the start of a reclaim process the IO is heavy on the database and the TSM instance queues

David, If I understand your issue correctly, then I think you can use the AIX 'chdev' command like this: chdev -l rmt5 -a new_name=rmt8 This lets you assign an rmtx name of your choice to each tape drive. I use this to set drive device names to rmt1 thru rmt8 rather than using the default rmt0
