Re: V5.1 3494 manual library gotcha
Steve, I sure don't have Tom's TSM expertise, so 'grain of salt' this -- but my TSM admin had to do a db restore on a 3494 (due to an auditdb gone bad) at version 5.1.x.x. He did have to define the 3494 as a manual library to access the db tape. I'm thinking your desttype='library' is the problem. In our devconfig, it was 'drive'. Here is the devconfig file he used: /* Device Configuration */ DEFINE DEVCLASS 3590CLASS DEVTYPE=3590 FORMAT=DRIVE MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60 MOUNTRETENTION=5 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=3494LIB SET SERVERNAME BLAHBLAH01 DEFINE LIBRARY 3494LIB LIBTYPE=manual DEFINE DRIVE 3494LIB DRIVE1 DEFINE PATH BLAHBLAH01 DRIVE1 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=3494LIB DEVICE=/dev/rmt1 ONLINE=yes Scott Behrens >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/2/02 9:09:56 AM >>> Steve -- Manual libraries are just that - Manual - and do not have a path to the library.

V5.1 3494 manual library gotcha
Hi All, I'm trying to move datacentres by restoring a 4.2.2 database to 5.1.5.3 at the new site - anyone tried an upgrade at the same time as a restore? - I'd like to hear your war stories. Anyway, I've defined my server and I'm running scripts modified from the DRM plan scripts. When I come to do the restore, obviously the devconfig file has to have the new V5.1 path statements in it. The restore fails but I see that I'm using a 3494 and there's an old bug about having to define a manual library for restoring a 3494. So, I go to my test instance and try to define a manual library so I can see what the devconfig file looks like, and here's the gotcha. I can define the manual library, and the drive in the library, and the path to the drive, but when I try to define the path to the library I get tsm: TSMDCT>define path tsmdct fred srctype=server destt=library device=/dev/rmt1 define path tsmdct fred srctype=server destt=library device=/dev/rmt1 ANR8416E DEFINE PATH: The DEVICE parameter is invalid for library type MANUAL. ANS8001I Return code 15. tsm: TSMDCT>DEFINE PATH TSMDCT FRED SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY ONLINE=YES DEFINE PATH TSMDCT FRED SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY ONLINE=YES ANR2022E DEFINE PATH: One or more parameters are missing. ANS8001I Return code 3. Have I missed something here or found a bug?
