Shawn, I have had this before
The "show path" command will give you a hint on how to fix it. This command showed for the path/drivemapping that the TSM-server had to a redundant drive. A "delete drivemapping <TSM-SERVERNAME> <LIBRARY-NAME> <DRIVE-NAME>" did the trick After this command we could delete the drives and library. cheers Jeroen -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 8 juli 2003 16:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cannot delete tape drive All, I am running TSM 4.2.1.8 on an AIX 4.3.3 server connected to a 3584 library with 4 FC 3580 drives. Last week I was having some FC connectivity issues and worked with IBM and Tivoli support for several hours trying to get everthing worked out. I now have one tape drive that is offline and I cannot set the device (/dev/rmt0) or even remove it from the library. The issue seems to be that the library was setup as shared, and my predecessor was working with StorageAgents and Lan-free backups, but never fully implemented them. So now when I try to do a 'delete drive 3584lib drive01' I get the following message: ANR9798E DELETE DRIVE: One or more paths are still defined for drive DRIVE01 in library 3584LIB. ANS8001I Return code 13. Now there were some drivemappings setup for 3 of our clients that mapped to 2 of the 4 drives, one of them being DRIVE01 which I'm having issues with. I went in on the server side and removed all of the drive mappings for all servers and drives hoping to free something up. Also I've restarted the TSM service 3 or 4 times and have still had no luck. I searched the archives and found mention of this from time-to-time, but never saw an resolutions. The biggest issue seems to be that 4.2.x did not have support for paths, and as such doing a 'q path' just returns an error: ANR2000E Unknown command - QUERY PATH. ANS8001I Return code 2. Any Ideas? I'm hoping to upgrade to TSM 5.1 but donšt want to do it with these configuration problems. Thanks in advance Shawn
