Re: 3494 Connectivity and lmcp
Just an FYIThe hostname 'changed' on us when we went from AIX
4.2 to 4.3.
We had to update the LM with the 'long' name hostname.coname.pvt
(instead of just the host name...)...
pressing for answers, but haven't got them yet...
the hostname in the ibmatl.conf file doesn't matter.I'm pressing
to have the comments within
the ibmatl.conf file changed (who knows when they'll hold me to it).
Preliminary answers have confirmed that there doesn't have to be a
match on the hostname in the ibmatl.conf file (not used)
and the hostname in the LM...
Its hard to get good quick answers in this area, but I'm not about
to let go.

Make sure that the LAN Connection IP Address and Hostname are
correct. The
LM will do a reverse name lookup on the IP address that is trying to
connect
to it to get a hostname. This hostname returned by DNS must match
the
hostname you defined in the LAN Connection entry on the Library
manager.
Check the LM logs to see why the LM is rejecting the connection, if
it's
getting that far.

You should also check and see if the lmcp daemon is running.
ps -ef|grep lmcpd

Um, is the library offline to the host? Go to the 3494 and check
its
state. Ping it from your host to assure continuity. Make sure your
host
is defined as authorized to the Library Manager. Assure that your
/etc/ibmatl.conf is correct.

Re: 3494 Connectivity and lmcp
Found the problem, the cable we were using for the tty connection to the 3494 apparently was not a null modem cable, and so I added a null modem adapter and all is well. Thanks, especially to Richard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) . -Tom >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/13/00 01:00PM >>> >The port is available, but will not initialize. I have contacted IBM. Ah.

Want to take a shot at the question? I have experience with scsi attached 3590s, but not ESCON, so I could not provide insight on the combo. Sorry. If you should need to call, though: 617 353-8249.

3494 Connectivity and lmcp
I am attempting to connect an RS/6000 SP system to a 3494 tape library. I think I have followed the manuals correclty, but cannot access the library using the mtlib commands. I keep getting the message that says the library is offline to the host. EX: # F3N43en0:/home/root==>mtlib -l /dev/atl1 -f /dev/rmt0 -qD Query operation Error - Library is Offline to Host. Yes, I did name my lmcp to be /dev/atl1. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. Tom Melton Emory HealthCare
