are all drives online?
does another application use the drives?
how is the mount retention parameter of the dev-class set?
do you have other information from the 3494 interface?

regards
joachim

Betreff: TSM on AIX and 3494 library problem...


Hello.
Some time ago we had a problem with 'no drives available'.
It was in 5.1.5.x and 5.1.6.x times.
Few weekes ago we did upgrade to 5.1.7.0 and yesterday problem occured again
:(
The symptoms are:
1. In actlog:

24-06-2003 06:20:03 ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library
ROBOCOP.             

2. 'q mount':
tsm: GWTSM>q mount
Session established with server GWTSM: AIX-RS/6000
  Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0
  Server date/time: 2003-06-24 07:51:14  Last access: 2003-06-23 16:05:56

ANR8329I 3590 volume 000374 is mounted R/W in drive D11 (/dev/rmt5), status:
IDLE.
ANR8329I 3590 volume 000514 is mounted R/W in drive D20 (/dev/rmt0), status:
IDLE.
ANR8329I 3590 volume 000101 is mounted R/W in drive D21 (/dev/rmt1), status:
IDLE.
ANR8329I 3590 volume 000366 is mounted R/O in drive D01 (/dev/rmt2), status:
IDLE.
ANR8329I 3590 volume 004278 is mounted R/W in drive D00 (/dev/rmt8), status:
IDLE.
ANR8329I 3590 volume 000599 is mounted R/W in drive D31 (/dev/rmt3), status:
IDLE.
ANR8334I         6 matches found.

We have 8 overall drives in this library...

I don't know where the problem lies. Manual dismounting of all idle volumes
helps, but it's not a solution :(
