Suggestion: go check your drive, see if it has a code on the front. My guess is that it does. A drive being offline (as in 'q drive') is separate from the path ('q path') being offline. They are related, but independent. Someone else probably has good technical explanation. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Hefty Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 9:56 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Drive Inconsistencies
Hello all, As seen below, I have a library drive (DRIVE05) that is currently listed as On-Line within the query drive command output but listed as not On-Line in the query path command output. I have logged a call with IBM support to verify the drive is functioning; however, I am curious as to why the inconsistency?
