Hi List,
I'm trying to activate the data path failover feature we bought with our
brand new 3584 library (12 LTO3 drives), without success ...
O.S. is AIX 5.3.0.0 ml 02.- Atape driver is at 9.6.0.0
The actual (test) setup looks like : 6 drives are connected thru fcs2
and fcs3, the other ones thru fcs4 :
fcs2 Available 06-08 FC Adapter
fcs3 Available 09-08 FC Adapter
fcs4 Available 0A-08 FC Adapter
rmt1 Available 06-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt2 Available 06-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt3 Available 06-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt4 Available 09-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt5 Available 09-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt6 Available 09-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt7 Available 0A-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt8 Available 0A-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt9 Available 0A-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt10 Available 0A-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt11 Available 0A-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt12 Available 0A-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt13 Available 06-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt14 Available 06-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt15 Available 06-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt16 Available 09-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt17 Available 09-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt18 Available 09-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
The zoning on our Cisco MDS has been defined so that both FCS2 and FCS3
are able to see the first 6 drives (therefore 18 drives are seen by the
system)
Following IBM's Redbook "implementing IBM tape in UNIX systems -
sg246502", I have installed the DPF license key :
dpf_keys
Installed dpf keys:
values = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (hidden to protect the key)
Now , each time I try to enable DPF for a drive, I get following error :
chdev -l rmt1 -a alt_pathing=yes
Method error (/etc/methods/chgAtape):
0514-018 The values specified for the following attributes
are not valid:
Feature Code 1681 License key not found for Alternate Pathing Feature
Run dpf_keys -a key to install a license key
Anyone having an idea of what I'm missing ?
Thanks in advance !
Regards.
Arnaud
