Re: Problem with Storagetek L20 and 5.1.6.2
I had a simailar problem with DLT1 drives, There is an readme on the TSM
site how to update the TSM installation with the SHOW FORMATDLT1 admin
command with the UPDATEFORMAT parameter.
and UPDATE DEVCLASS DLT1 or DLT1C.

You seem to do everything correct and if it does not work the best way is
to open a PMR with IBM. Try to rescreate the problem on another box.

How you did the upgrade (4.1.6 -> 5.1.6.2 or 4.1.6 -> 5.1.0.0 -> 5.1.6.0

What is the fileset and version for the ITSM device driver?

Subject:Problem with Storagetek L20 and 5.1.6.2
Hello,
I juste upgraded my TSM server on AIX 4.3.3 to 5.1.6.2 from 4.1.6 and I
had
to reinstall the devices software at 4.1 level to have my Storagetek work.
The library functionned but the DLT1 drives where unable to read tapes. I
got the following message :
20.02.03 14:06:43 ANR8302E I/O error on drive DLT1.2 (/dev/mt1)

SENSE=**NONE**, Description=Device is not in a state
capable of performing request). Refer to Appendix D
in
the 'Messages' manual for recommended action.
I just updated TSM to 5.1.6.2 and removed the drive and the library before
recreating them.
Did I do anything wrong or is it normal (I hope not)

Just in case anyone's interested in the outcome, I've finally got this library working.

Re: StorageTek L20 - need Solaris expertise
I believe there was a pretty good description of how to do this in the TSM Installation Guide for Solaris. You should be able to find it online of it may have come with your software. My recollection was that you actually deleted the device files, edited the .conf files and then reconfigured the devices. I don't remember the exact syntax, but the book has it. If you can't find the book yourself, echo back here and I'll try to find it. Thanks, Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

StorageTek L20
Hi all, I need help to get my tape library going. It's a StorageTek L20, connected to a server which is TSM 3.7.2 on Solaris 7. I've connected up the cables and done a boot -r (to get the OS to recognise the new devices, which it appears to). But when I try to define the library, the admin client just hangs. Are there any OS tools I can use to test the library? More details: Robotics are accessed via SCSI - it should be able to work the same as any other SCSI library. Robotics and drive are on the same SCSI chain. Library is target 0, drive is target 1 Cabling goes server->library->drive->terminator -- Lesley Walker Distributed Systems Services, EDS New Zealand [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future by the year 2000, may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1.5 tons" Popular Mechanics, March 1949
