Re: Can't define IBM3583-L72 LTO library to TSM
I would check and make sure that the scsi connections (smc is scsi right??
I am using adic so im not familiar with the ibm device names) to the
library are secure and correct. Do you just discover with cfgmgr or do
you have to define them yourself. Not sure if this will help but I found
the utility "lbtest" to be invaluable because I ran into some similar
problems with my scalar 100 and I believe it was a bad scsi cable. Lbtest
will tell you if tsm recognizes the changer and drives and I believe it
comes with tsm when you install. Hope this helps.
Rick.

Yep. Already checked all of these.
Yes, the library is online. Checked with both the web/RMU
and physically.
Even power-recycled the box.
Yes, I am doing a define of the PATH to the LIBRARY, not
the drives.
TAPEUTIL can't talk to the library, either.
