Hi Sandra,

First to Disable one of the Drive use the upd drive command to take the
Drive Offline 

e.g: upd drive [Library Name] [Drive Name] Online=no

and then after u replace the Drive, update the Drive path of that Drive
thus TSM will Detect The new drive serial number,
if u get problems u always can Delete the path of the Drive, and the
Drive
and Recreate them Again.

Subject: Faulty Tape drive in 3582

Dear All,
I have LTO 3582 attached on SAN, controlled by Win2k TSM Server at
5.2.3.
One of the two drives in the library have gone faulty and so many of my
operations fail.

Question:
1-How do I tell TSM to use only one tape? (Definitely no DRM untill this
is
fixed)
2- When the drive is fixed, how do I tell TSM again to start utilizing
that
tape?

The following is the error:
ANR8963E We were not able to find the path to match the Serial number
defined
for library library name and drive drive name .

the following is explanation that i found in messages document:
Explanation: A device has been swapped and we are not able to get the
new path.
System Action: .
User Response: None.


Kindly enlighten me.

Sandra
