With the Atape upgrade, both the device driver and TSM are synchronized again. Without the upgrade, existing 3570 and 3590 customers will encounter harmless but annoying I/O errors during the dismount processing. The I/O error will be as follows: ANR8311E An I/O error occurred while accessing drive for GETLOGSENSE operation, errno = 22. This error message does not cause the operation to fail. However, it does indicate that TSM is not able to obtain diagnostic information from the 3570 and 3590 drives that TSM uses to determine the health of the drive and the media. -- Richard
strange 3590 problem?
I am seeing something wierd on my 3590 volumes.. When a tape becomes full, ie, I receive: ANR8341I End-of-volume reached for 3590 volume AD0441. But, when TSM 3.7.3 dismounts the volume, I receive these messages: ANR8336I Verifying label of 3590 volume AD0441 in drive E5632 (/dev/rmt0). ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume AD0441 in drive E5632 (/dev/rmt0). ANR8468I 3590 volume AD0441 dismounted from drive E5632 (/dev/rmt0) in library CCSO3494. (* this is just one example *) I do not receive a ANR8355E when a tape is dismounted on a mount retention expiration... I have both 3590 J and 3590 K tapes in the library, and the ANR8355E is seen on both types of tapes and on any of the 7 drives. A volume audit does not reveal a problem with the tape(s). The tapes mount fine, and read through. Has anyone seen this problem? I am running AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 3.7.3 (.8) 3590 E1A (2x) drives Atape 5.3.9 atldd 4.1.5 Nothing appears in the errpt for the drives after the error. troubling strangness... thanks in advance, Bob Booth
