Hello All, I would be curious to hear if anyone has a backup strategy for the OS/2 PC that runs the 3494 tape library? The reason I ask is that we had a hard disk failure on the PC this weekend and i

Hi Bill, usually the hard disk of the PC where Library Manger sw is installed is mirrored; our ce told me that this is the default, now. You can mirror also the entire pc (and the entire cartridge ac

Hallo Bill ! To protect the system against a hard disk failure , you could use the mirrored disk feature in the 3494īs OS/2 PC. Mit freundlichen Gruessen - Yours sincerely Manfred Eber GE CompuNet

Thanks for all the responses. As it turns we did not have mirrored disks. The main reason for the lengthy restore was that an IBM CE had taken our software offsite a few months ago to restore another

Dwight, looking at my output I notice an additional line, which is missing your output: comp avail status..........Primary library manager installed. Primary library manager available. Primary hard d
Excellent question. This should not be hard. Can you get to the OS at a level where the OS/2 client can be installed. I didn't think these things ever broke. Color me updated! Kelly J. Lipp Storage S

We have looked into this in the past, and according to IBM we should not touch it. As far as they are concerned it is an IBM serviceable part. However, I would suggest you have an education issue for

Hi, From what I understand from IBM UK 3494 Support, there is a relatively new software mirroring feature that will make a compressed image of the 3494 Library information on the second disk. It take
