Re: ANR8441E Initialization failed for SCSI library 3570LIB.
Thanks Laura for help, that is a good utility. Any other tools is there which I might not be aware of it? Actually the problem got resolved by re-booting the server. Still I'm not sure why? and what was gone wrong. Thanks, Salam Salam R. Abdulla Project Leader Dubai Aluminum Company P. O.

Re: ANR8441E Initialization failed for SCSI library 3570LIB.
Salam, It sounds as if the library is not properly configured. You can run a test using the libtest utility to see if you are correctly communicating with the library. Run the test as follows. This utility is located on Windows servers in the tivoli\tsm\utils directory or on Unix servers in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory. To run the test on Windows servers lbtest -dev lb0.0.0.2 (where lb0.0.0.2 is the scsi dev name of the library) and on Unix servers lbtest -dev /dev/lb0 You will be presented with a menu Select Manual Test Select 6: Open. If the open is successful, LBTEST is successfully communicating with the library. If the open fails, you may have a configuration problem with the library. Verify that the scsi driver is loaded and running. Verify that you have the correct scsi id number. Verify that the os can see the library at boot. If the open succeeds you can proceed with the following test: Select 8: Ioctl Return Element Count (This will report the number and types of identifiable elements in the library i.e. drives, ioport etc.) Select 9: Ioctl Return All Library Inventory. This will show all of the library elements. It will also show what is in each element (i.e. drive, slot etc.) Look for the drive numbers and the element numbers for those drives. Also confirm that the drives have the correct scsi id. These are the correct element numbers and scsi ids for the define drive commands. Hopefully, using this diagnostic procedure, you will be able to determine the cause of your problem.
