When you define the PATHs on the TSM server for the storage agent on the client 
node, the device= is the name of the tape drive on the client, not on the 
server. You need to match the drive name on the TSM server to the correct 
device name on the client node, then use that in the DEFINE PATH. So on your 
TSM server:

If library 3584 drive LTO1 points to the /dev/rmt1 device and on the storage 
agent client SA1 that same physical drive is the /dev/rmt3 device you would use:

define path SA1 LTO1 srctype=server desttype=drive library=3584 device=/dev/rmt3

Hi,

Can be, but don't have to be the same... In the past I saw some machines
with different device names for the same devices and it worked well with
ITSM (on Windows).

Regards,

Karel

Hi,

>From my experience with 3584 Library, the rmt devices should be
The same on both machines e.g. server_1 /dev/rmt1 /dev/rmt2 etc...
And also on the library client /dev/rmt1 ...

Subject: Library sharing

Trying to get ATL library sharing working between two TSM AIX servers.

I think I finally got the definitions correct......at least they seem to
function.........

However, I can't get the library client (capella) to use the drives. Every
time it does, I get these errors in the activity log:

03/31/2004 09:54:13  ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt1, error
number=46.
                      (SESSION: 2663, PROCESS: 11)

The "library manager" says the tape is mounted and ready.....

03/31/2004 09:52:25  ANR8337I 3590 volume 070330 mounted in drive
ATL-DRIVE2 (/dev/rmt1).
03/31/2004 09:52:25  ANR9791I Volume 070330 in library 3494ATL ownership
is changing from TSM-AGENA to TSM-CAPELLA.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong ?

AIX messages says the "-46" is "Drive Not Ready".

These are FC / SAN attached 3590E1A drives.
