hi all,
okay after i noticed that mixing of lto1 and lto3 drives/tapes is not
possible
in one 3584 library except to partition the library i did the logical
partitioning

12 old lto1 drives are okay and fully occupied as usual :-) , i retested
them and
double checked the hom element, rmtX, serial numbers and WWN-s just to
be sure that this is the real situation, it's little complicated coz i
connected odd
and even drives to different brocades but nevermind that ... you know DRIVE2
is /dev/rmt9 LOL ... okay back to the point
the library was successfuly partitioned and on specailalist there is nothing
odd,
but when i want to create a drive in newly created logical library it
wouldnt let me,
the drives are phisicaly in other frame which is second logical library ...

ANR2017I Administrator GORAN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE LTO_LIB01G3F2
drive01g3f2 WWN=500507630046D811 SERIAL=0007803769
CLEANFREQUENCY=ASNEEDED
ANR8404I Drive DRIVE01G3F2 defined in library LTO_LIB01G3F2.
ANR2017I Administrator GORAN issued command: DEFINE PATH TSM01 drive01g3f2
SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=LTO_LIB01G3F2
DEVICE=/dev/rmt7
ANR8972E DEFINE PATH: Unable to find the element number for drive
DRIVE01G3F2 in library LTO_LIB01G3F2.

the home elemet is fine visible in specialist, and i know the exact device
special file
everything seems to be normal but still ...

any clues ? thanks for every answer
