Hi,

we have move one tsm-server from sun solaris to another sun solaris server use
the old library and drives.
We habe installed tsm-server 4.2.4.1 and use 3494 with 3590e drives

Installed devicedrivers are IBMtape.4.0.6.5.bin and lmcpd.5.2.2.0.bin

We reconnect the drives to the new server.
After reboot all four drives are available

root@wlb06310# ls -al /dev/rmt/*st
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/3st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@2,1/IBMtape@0,0:st
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/4st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@2,1/IBMtape@1,0:st
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/7st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@3,1/IBMtape@0,0:st
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/8st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@3,1/IBMtape@1,0:st

With the tapeutil tool we can check the drives an anything is ok.
The lmcpd is started and we can connect the library with the mtlib command.

But after redefine the drive (delete/define drive) i can only use the
/dev/rmt/3st and the /dev/rmt/8st devices.
I test it with "move data"

TSM activitylog say  ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library

I have updated the mountlimit of the deviceclass configuration from "drives" to
"2" .

There are no other processes run , no other mount on the drive.

I don't know what the problem is.

Any idea ??

kind regards
