Re: mtlib/tapeutil not able to access 3590's
I wonder if that might be the problem. I'll get someone to try accessing the drive as root, and adjust the permissions accordingly. Here's one of my drives: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 54 Dec 7 12:02 /dev/rmt/6st - ../../devices/sbus@f,0/QLGC,isp@0,1/IBMtape@0,0:st crw--- 1 root sys 158,3072 Dec 11 09:08 /devices/sbus@f,0/QLGC,isp@0,1/IBMtape@0,0:st Thanks, Mike Here are the permissions on one of my tape drives lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 55 Oct 24 17:52 /dev/rmt/8st - .../../devices/sbus@12,0/QLGC,isp@2,1/IBMtape@0,0:st root@tsmsrv10 ls -l devices/sbus@12,0/QLGC,isp@2,1/IBMtape@0,0:st crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 163,5120 Dec 1 00:19 devices/sbus@12,0/QLGC,isp@2,1/IBMtape@0,0:st but in my sun environment I'm still at 4.0.4.6 of IBMtape Now did you check to ensure that tape drive wasn't in use by TSM at the time !?! that would prevent access...

Pausing server operation
Good afternoon, We need to take the ethernet adapters offline on our server to adjust one of the parameters, but there are a number of sessions active, and many more queued waiting for a tapedrive. If we update the drives offline, this may affect the running sessions, but will the queued jobs be affected, or will they stay as is? Is there another way to go about this? We require a 5-10 minute outage to make the change. AIX 4.3.1 ADSM 3.1 Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
ADSM Schedule failure
Does anyone know why the scheduler might keep failing with the following error showing in /var/adsm/schedule.log? Process Interrupted!! Severing connection. dsmerror.log does not indicate anything abnormal. This seems to happen on the same machines running SunOS5.6, ADSM Client 3.1.0.7. Thanks, Mike
Mixed tapes in a 3494 library
Hi, We are planning to use a mix of short and long length 3590 tapes in a single 3494 library. Some storage pools will use the short tapes for a 20gb capacity, others will use the long 40gb capacity. Is it possible to have two types of scratch tapes existing in the same library, or must we choose one length of tape for the scratch pool and staticly assign tapes to the other stgpools? Has anyone done this sort of thing, or have any thoughts on the subject? Thanks, Mike
dsmerror.log ownership issue
We are having a problem with what seems to be the ownership of the dsmerror.log file. It is currently owned by root. When we launch dsm as a non-root user, it reports being unable to open dsmerror.log. We tried to chown the file to the user, root retakes ownership of the file. Client System is as follows: SunOS 5.6 ADSM 3.1 This is the only client having this problem. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Mike
