I believe this is going to be a scsi problem because when I try to move tapes using lbtest and the element address for the 3rd tape drive at address 258 I receive an error. The other drives work fine. I believe lbtest was part of the TSM install package so I am not 100% positive about this being a scsi problem.

I just added a new LTO (ver1) drive to our Scalar 100 Library. I used lbtest and can see the element address reported by the new drive is 258 (the 2 previous drives are 256 and 257). When I try to move the media to the 258 address or define the new drive to tsm I receive an error. hal> lsdev -Cc tape rmt0 Available 2A-09-00-3,0 LTO Ultrium Tape Drive rmt1 Available 2A-09-00-4,0 LTO Ultrium Tape Drive rmt2 Available 2A-09-00-2,0 LTO Ultrium Tape Drive <-- new drive enter selection: 8 Library Element Count: compcode = 0 number of drives = 3 number of storage slots = 42 number of transport elem = 1 number of entry exit ports = 12 analyze rc 0 err 0 (Successful,Error 0) cc 0 (Successful) resid 0 data 0 Total elapsed time in seconds = 3.00 Library Inventory: Drive 1 (address 256 EMPTY) abnormal_state = 0, accessible = 1, scsi_bus_not_pres = 0, scsi_bus_id_flag = 1, scsi_bus_id = 3, lun_flag = 0, lun = 0, source_addr_flag = 0, source_elem_addr = 0, invert_media_flag = 0, barcode_flag = 1, barcode_len = 36 Drive 2 (address 257 EMPTY) abnormal_state = 0, accessible = 1, scsi_bus_not_pres = 0, scsi_bus_id_flag = 1, scsi_bus_id = 4, lun_flag = 0, lun = 0, source_addr_flag = 0, source_elem_addr = 0, invert_media_flag = 0, barcode_flag = 1, barcode_len = 36 Drive 3 (address 258 EMPTY) abnormal_state = 0, accessible = 1, scsi_bus_not_pres = 0, scsi_bus_id_flag = 1, scsi_bus_id = 2, lun_flag = 0, lun = 0, source_addr_flag = 0, source_elem_addr = 0, invert_media_flag = 0, barcode_flag = 1, barcode_len = 36 enter selection: 11 transport element address: 1 source address moving from: 11 destination address moving to: 258 invert option: (1) invert (0) not invert: execute move_medium taddr = 1 saddr = 11 daddr = 258 invert = 0 analyze rc -1 err 22 (EINVAL,Invalid argument) cc 0 (Successful) resid 0 data 0 error_state last_status 22 (EINVAL) last_compcode 207 (DD_ILLEGAL_REQUEST) information 0 number_sense 18 Sense KEY/ASC/ASCQ = 5/21/ 1 KEY meaning is illegal request ASC/ASCQ meaning is invalid element address sense bytes 000-015: 70 0 5 0 0 0 0 a 0 0 0 0 21 1 0 c0 sense bytes 016-031: 0 4 analyze return_error cc 207 (DD_ILLEGAL_REQUEST) analyze conclusion ...
