Hi Ian, I have done the rollback to 6.0.8.2 and disable the CPF. Everything has come back to normal now but the problem tape drive MT6.0.0.1 is not accessible or recognized as a supported device type while other tape drives are working fine.
Now I could not label using MT6.0.0.1. Any steps I should done first or miss?

There should by some registry scripts in the ultrium unpack directory, in a reg folder. These functions are for path failover- you can define control paths for the library on multiple drives (i.e. mapped over multiple fabrics). This CPF function then aggregates the device. If you don't have the correct functionality configured, then disable it. It is best practice to configure the library manager and clients with the same driver version and keep them configured the same, i.e. ensure the functions are disabled on all devices. N.B. it will require a reboot to activate the registry change after you have run the script. The actual change looks like the following: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ibmcgbs2k] "FailoverDisabled"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ibmcgbs2k3] "FailoverDisabled"=dword:00000001 _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zareyna Sent: 06 July 2006 07:33 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] ANR8779E: Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170 Hi Ian, Regarding the CPF, is it a must to disable the functions? What's the different of having it disable or enable? Where can I get the script to disable the CPF? Do I need to do the rollback on the library clients too?

Wehen we did this it resolved the problem straight away. We also had major server stability issues, where the server would blue screen and only be recovered by ASR. After a difficult period we pinned this down to the ultrium drivers. Are you using LTO3 tape drives? Are the AIX boxes library clients or just normal clients? _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zareyna Sent: 28 June 2006 11:16 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] ANR8779E: Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170 Hi Ian, I'm using 6.1.2.7.

We had this problem after upgrading the ultrium device drivers to 6.1.1.2. We had to roll back to 6.0.8.2. Ensure that the CPF and DPF functions are disabled in the registry by using the scripts if you are not using this function. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Windows/Win2003/Latest/IBMTap e.W200x.fixlist.txt _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zareyna Sent: 28 June 2006 10:42 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] ANR8779E: Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170 Hi all, I'm having this error "Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170" after I backup 3 clients. Currently the TSM server 5.3.2 is running on Win2003 server and the 3584 tape library while the clients run on AIX5.1. There are 4 tape drive path define connected with 2 SAN switch. Initially the backup run successfully and the error occur after I backup the 3 clients. I have tried to dismount the volume on the mt6.0.0.1 drive but the drive is NOT in idle state. Really hope if anybody knows the solution of this problem Thanks, Regards, Zareyna Salim _____________________________________________________________ This email (including any attachments to it) is confidential, legally privileged, subject to copyright and is sent for the personal attention of the intended recipient only.
