Dear All, Configuration 3583 with bulk i/o door Atape 7.0.3.0 AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.2
The library is working correctly EXCEPT when it comes to using the bulk i/o ie slots 16 to 27. I cannot use tapeutil to move a tape from within the library out to the bulk i/o and checkout operations from within TSM also fail. eg tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 move 4101 16 does not work. checkout libvol atl 123456 checklabel=no remove=bulk does not work However it is possible to move tapes around within the library itself. Unfortunately the library is remote and there's no network connectivity yet so I cannot provide examples of the error messages. I have another 3583 at the same level of Atape which is behaving itself correctly - I can move tapes in/out using tapeutil and checkout/checkin. Has anyone seen anything similar? I must assume the problem is outwith TSM as even tapeutil is having difficulties. Thanks in advance for your ideas. Eric Winters Sydney Australia
