TSM 4.1.2, SUN Solaris, StorEdge L20

2001-01-15 Thread Viliam Varga

Hi all,

can anybody help me with following problem:
TSM device driver (lb) cannot identify library contrloler on tape library
SUN StorEdge L20 (2 drives, 20 tapes). TSM tape device driver (mt) works
fine on both DLT 7000 drives. Veritas NetBackup BusinesServer 3.3 software
installed on the same machine uses library robot and drives without
failures.

CONFIGURATION:
Hardware:
SUN Ultra5, 256MB RAM, 16GB HDD
SUN StorEdge L20, 2x DLT7000

Software:
Solaris 2.7, 64bit
TSM server 4.1.2

Thank you.

This sounds remarkably similar to the problem I had with my StorageTek L20 -
I assume it's the same thing, since the description matches.  I was trying
to use it with TSM 3.7.3, and it didn't work until I upgraded the code to
3.7.4.  (I posted to the list about it at the time, so you should be able to
find details in the list archive if you want them.)

But the other thing I did was re-install the OS in 32-bit mode.  It could be
worth a try - and if you contact Tivoli about it, they will very likely
suggest doing it.

If that doesn't work, my suggestion is to log a call with Tivoli.  They made
some kind of change between 3.7.3 and 3.7.4 that made it work for me - so
it's possible you might need the same change at the 4.1 level.
