Hi TSM'ers, 1. I moved to TSM 5.3.1.0 yesterday on an H70-AIX-box ( 5300-02 ) from TSM 5.1.9 AIX 4330-11 2. 99% of the migration worked well and in expected time 3. This morning I found a pecularity with resp to 3590-drives in a 3494-library, which is FC-connected to the H70. The o/p of "lsdev -Cc tape" is as follows: rzds3# lsdev -Cc tape lmcp0 Available LAN/TTY Library Management Control Point rmt0 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt1 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt2 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer (FCP) rmt3 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt4 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt5 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer (FCP) rmt6 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt7 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt8 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt9 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer (FCP) rmt10 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt11 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) rmt12 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer (FCP) rmt13 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP) smc0 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) smc1 Available 30-68-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) smc2 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) smc3 Available 40-58-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP)

Only the 3590_P6 drive was usable and the others NOT. 5. I carefully checked, that the o/p I obtained by running for i in 2 5 9 12; do lscfg -vpl rmt$i; done matched the o/p of tsm> query drive 3494 f=d with resp to "rmt?" "serial#" AND "WWN" 6. Only the one drive "3590_p6" matched completely and the remaining ones had odd WWN's. 7. trying to force the propper WWN ( obtained in step 5 above ) resulted in: tsm: DS3>upda drive 3494 3590_p4 wwn=50050763004060d6 ANR8420E UPDATE DRIVE: An I/O error occurred while accessing drive 3590_P4. ANS8001I Return code 3. 8. I checked the "5.3.1.4 patches-README", but didn't find anything which might apply for the above failure Any idea, what might be the reason for this behaviour -- MfG / Ciao - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Peter Dümpert Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rechenzentrum der Technischen Universität Fax : ++49/531/391-5549 D 38092 Braunschweig Tel : ++49/531/391-5535
