Try this and see if it helps............. 1. take the drive path offline in TSM Then the drive offline in TSM 2. run: rmdev -Rdl fscsi11 3. rmdev -Rl fcs11 4. cfgmgr -l fcs11 Then place the drive online in TSM 5. Put the drive PATH back online in TSM
The drive will come back as rmt9 as long as no other changes are made to drives. Need to run commands to find the associated rmtxx to fscsixx and fcsxx. Some of the rmtxx still created AIX ERRPT ID 5537AC5F TAPE DRIVE FAILURE MESSAGE after running the above commands after a while. -----Original Message----- From: Lamb, Charles P.

We have quite a few of these per week (we had six last night). When we raised it with IBM, we were told that they were "spurious" so I would be interested if that turns out not to be the case. They make spotting real tape errors [a little] more time consuming. James. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Lamb, Charles P.
