Re: SV: Library unavailable
Hi, I am using the command line. As for the serial number, I´ll remove the defined library and redefine it without using this clause, and then create the path...and see what happens. I´ve already removed TSM and reinstalled it. The IBMtaped daemon is up and running. IBMtaped version is 1.5.3 and I ran the IBMtapeutil facility to check the Media Changer and Drives and everything seems to be ok, at least at OS level.

Re: Library unavailable
I don't know about 3583, but with 3584 one shouldn't use the TSM supplied drivers. IBM provides a so called 'lintape' (ex IBMtape) driver on their FTP. Also you said that the setup was working properly and then suddenly ceased without you changing anything, right? If so, your infrastructure could turn out to be the culprit. Reinstalling software components without attempting to discern the true cause of the problem might not be the most helpful approach. -- Warm regards, Michael Green On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Mario Behring wrote: > > TSM Server was running fine until a week ago when it stopped at some > point...not clear to me.

Re: Detect whether L700 tape library unavailable
Gerald,
That's a cool script... I've never quite gotten that interface working in
batch. The only thing I would worry about is what if TSM tries to open
the library while the script has it open? Will it go offline? I guess
having it in a script would be less exposure than an interactive run (of
lbtest) since it runs at CPU speed.
BTW, our L700 (we have two actually, one here in NJ and one in CA) is
really an HP 20/700, so it doesn't need the dongle for the web interface to
work. Not sure if there are any functional differences, as I've never used
the real StorageTek web page. We went to StorageTek when we wanted to
upgrade from DLT to LTO and HP could/would not do it. So it's not purple,
but beige.

The L700 does have an optional "personality" module which allows the
library to be connected to the network. You can then open a browser to this
address and see the whole library, slots, drives, i/o ports, errors.
We have it on all our L700 libraries.
Also, I've created a Perl script which uses the lbtest command to get the
list of tapes in the i/o slots. ( see below ) It may not be pretty but it
works.
I use this list in scripts to checkin offsite tapes and load/label new
scratch tapes.

Re: Detect whether L700 tape library unavailable
Thanks for the tip Len.
I don't use show commands in scripts, because A) we're warned that they are
unsupported and subject to change without notice, and B) they're a pain to
parse. But that does indeed show the library status. As for the ANR8440
msg, that would only happen during TSM startup, woudn't it? When it tries
to initialize the library?
Off-topic (a little) -- another thing I'd like to be able to see is what
tapes (if any) are in the import/export slots. The 'show slots' command
lists what slots exist, but not what tapes are in them. Some libraries
provide a telnet interface that would probably work, but not the L700
(sigh).

Hello Robin,
There is an undocumented command show library that has the online status.
See the archives for more info on undocumented commands.
Here is the partial output from the show library command and the query path
command.
Autolib is an stk 9710 which was not connected. But at least with a
connected library the show library command will show the library as offline
if it can not talk to it.
You do get the following message in the tsm log for an unconnected library
08/09/2006 09:09:05 ANR8440E Initialization failed for SCSI library
AUTOLIB;
will retry in 2 minute(s).

We have a TSM server (5.2.2) running on a Solaris box with a SCSI
attached STK L700 tape library. TSM interfaces directly with the tape
library. Does anyone have any relatively simple method to detect whether
the tape library becomes unavailable? I was thinking of enabling some
events, have them directed to a log file & have a monitoring tool watch
for them, but it seems like it would be difficult to identify all of
them. Is there some simply way to achieve this? Perhaps "query drive" or
something on a regular basis would generate a particular error if the
library was down. I suppose a script could just see if "q drive" returns
valid response within some timeframe. Any thoughts or experience doing
this?
