SAN - Solaris
Hi guys, Thanks for all that helped me... the problem was: JNI FC adapter was set to FC-AL mode when it should be set to FC-SW mode... once I changed it in fcaw.conf, and rebooted the E3500, Solaris could "see" the devices ! But I have another problem for you guys: Solaris (2.7) recognizes the 5 tape drives but I can't open them (using tapeutil). I have already commented out the file st.conf, but everytime I run "drvconfig" the OS recognizes the same device twice, once via IBMtape and via Solaris itself; in /dev/rmt I have 10 devices ! I belive that is the cause of my problem, but I'm not so certain ... IBM has just certified this FC64-1063 adapter to work with Switch 2109 and Shark... They haven't mentioned anything about tape drives and libraries... Anyway, has anyone seen this kind of Solaris behaviour ? Should I reboot again the Server after I changed the "st.conf" file ?! Unfortunatelly I am a rookie in Solaris and all this seems very strange to me :) I've seen a lot of problems like that in ADSM.ORG about SCSI drives... no solution at all Again, thanks you all ! ____ Alexandre Bicas Caldeira - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tivoli Certified Specialist - Tivoli Storage Manager Service IT Solutions - http://www.service.com.br Sao Paulo:(11) 3040-1960 Rua Helena, 280, Cj 1106 CEP 04552-050 - Sco Paulo - SP Porto Alegre: (51) 212-3666 Curitiba: (41) 262-8320
SAN - FC Adapters doubt ...
Hi guys, I'm trying to set up a SAN using two IBM 2109-S16 FC Switch, six TSM Servers and a 3494 with 10 3590E drives Four TSM Servers are running smooth (1 M80, 2 Dell with FC Qlogic 2200, 1 SUN450 with FC Qlogic 2200). All of then are PCI Servers. I have two other servers (E3500 and a E1) that are SBUS Servers. Acording to Tivoli web site, all FC Adapters supported in this configuration are PCI ! ! ! Both SBUS Servers have an JNI FC64-1063 FC Adapter which is simillar do JNI FCI-1063 (the PCI Version which is supported)... The FC adapter establishes link to the 2109-S16 (steady green light) but it doesn't find any tape devices... Is anyone using these kind of FC adapters with SAN ? Is there any special firware or device driver that should be installed in these sun boxes in order to put these cards to work ? I updated the switch's firmware do level 2.2.1a but I had no luck... The IBM 2109-S16 is simillar to a Brocade Switch which is used by EMC... These FC64-1063 adapter is the one that is used by most of the SBUS Servers... EMC guys, any tips ?!

Netware 5.6 & SunOS 5.6
Hi guys, Does anyone know if TSM is compatible with Novell Netware 5.6 and Sun Os 5.6 ?! When I was looking for it at Tivoli site, I found out that one of TSM requirements is Netware 5.1 but the site didn't mention other versions above 5.1 ...

RES:
Jack, Have you tried "update vol" ? /reado update vol Volume_name acc=| unav \readw Usually, I update all the volumes that are removed from the library to readonly.

I hope this is a simple one. I have some volumes that were removed from a 3590 library and then went "unavailable" The volumes are now back in but are all empty. A "q con" for each volume shows there is no data. My problem is how do I make these volumes scratch again? I cannot delete the volumes because I get volume cannot be deleted because volume state is mountable not in lib. How do I make these scratch again? Thanks for any help Jack
Export Problem
Hi TSMers, I have to perform a migration of a TSM Server from a NT box to an AIX box. I have about 2TB of data backed up in 150 DLT tapes. My lirary is a STK9730 with 2 tape drives My problem is: EXPORT SERVER copies the data from the original tapes to any given Device Class. There is no need to do this because, I will have the same TSM Server with the same library and tapes into the AIX box ! Is there a way to copy only the metadata between different plataforms, just like a BACKUP DB does ? Can DUMP DB be used in this case ? Or is there any faster way to do it ? Time is crucial !

RES: Labelling the tapes in 3590-E11 Jukebox
Sachin, Try this: "Label Libvol library_name search=yes labels=prompt checkin=scratch" It will label all the volumes that aren't checked in, and then check in those newly labeled volumes... search=bulk -> looks for a tape only in the priority slot search=yes -> looks for tapes in all slots except the priority slot checkin=scratch -> after labeled the tapes are checked in as scratch checkin=private -> after labeled the tapes are checked in as private Good Luck ________ Alexandre Bicas Caldeira - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tivoli Certified Specialist - Tivoli Storage Manager Service IT Solutions - http://www.service.com.br Sao Paulo:(11) 3040-1960 Rua Helena, 280, Cj 1106 CEP 04552-050 - Sco Paulo - SP Porto Alegre: (51) 212-3666 Curitiba: (41) 339-3076 -Mensagem original- De: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Em nome de Ganu Sachin, IBM Enviada em: quinta-feira, 23 de novembro de 2000 01:07 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assunto: Labelling the tapes in 3590-E11 Jukebox Hi We have RS6000/SP wide node with AIX 4.3.3, Tivoli Storage manager 3.7.0 and IBM 3590 E11 jukebox.

Has anyone been crazy enough to develop something using Inprise Delphi and TSM API ? I've read de redbook about it, but I'm still having some trouble trying to use the TSM DLLs in Delphi...
