Maxim,

When you say "deleted and redefined drives" what that in Solaris or TSM?
I've had similar situations (on AIX) and was successful delete/redefining
drives 1st on the OS, then in TSM.

Hi everybody!

I checked archives, and found some similar problems but without resolution
((

So, may be some body already got the answer.
After upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 and TSM from 5.1.6 to 5.1.7 our
links in /dev/rmt changed order, so we had to update path defenitions to
new devices names (2mt become 1mt and 0lb become 2lb)
updating path for library was successful, but drive not... I continiusly
was getting - invalid request for update path.... bla bla bla...

So I deleted path and drive and recreated them.
After everything started to work for the first look (checkout and checkin
works just fine - that means drive can read labels from tapes - library
does not have barcode reader)
But in any action which require to mount volume I'm getting the follow
messages:

ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library DLT1LIB.
ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume DLT819 - mount failed.

It is DELL PV120TDLT1 library with only one Benchmark DLT1 drive
so mount limit is 1 in devclass definition (i danced around with all
possible values - mount limit drives, format =drives, dlt40, dlt40c, dlt1,
dlt1c) and nothing helped.....
restarting tsm couple time also does not make any effect

Does any body have any idea what I can do?
May be there is exist some options to get more detailed log?

Regards,
Maxim
