Greetings! I am currently testing a new Qualstar 88264 LTO tape library with TSM 5.1.5
The old (Scalar100) tape library was single Scsi HVD I/F cabled up as IF1. MT1...MT2...CNTRL...TERM This new library is set up for 2 SCSI LVD I/F's as; IF1. MT3...MT4...CNTRL...TERM IF2. MT1...MT2...TERM I have 2 problems >>> 1. TSM only wants to use the tape drives on IF1. 2. The drives are failing on dismount 01/29/2003 18:01:04 ANR8325I Dismounting volume Q00001 - 60 minute mount retention expired. 01/29/2003 18:01:08 ANR8336I Verifying label of LTO volume Q00001 in drive MT1.0.0.2 (mt1.0.0.2). 01/29/2003 18:02:12 ANR8311E An I/O error occurred while accessing drive MT1.0.0.2 (mt1.0.0.2) for LOCATE operation, errno = 121. 01/29/2003 18:02:12 ANR9999D pvrntp.c(2662): ThreadId<38> Error writing EOT to NTP volume Q00001. 01/29/2003 18:02:21 ANR8311E An I/O error occurred while accessing drive MT1.0.0.2 (mt1.0.0.2) for OFFL operation, errno = 1111. 01/30/2003 00:46:52 ANR8469E Dismount of LTO volume Q00001 from drive MT1.0.0.2 (mt1.0.0.2) in library LB0.0.0.2 failed. 01/30/2003 00:46:54 ANR8446I Manual intervention required for library LB0.0.0.2. 01/30/2003 00:46:54 ANR8792E Unrecoverable drive failures on drive MT1.0.0.2 (mt1.0.0.2); drive is now taken offline. 01/30/2003 00:46:54 ANR8792E Unrecoverable drive failures on drive MT1.0.0.2 (mt1.0.0.2); drive is now taken offline. 01/30/2003 00:46:54 ANR1410W Access mode for volume Q00001 now set to "unavailable". 01/30/2003 00:46:54 ANR8475I Dismount of volume Q00001 failed. It may still be in the drive. Can anyone please shed some light on... Is this how it should be cabled? How to get all 4 drives to work? How to get the tapes to unload without failing!!!!! Many Thanks in anticipation...
