Hi Richard
Well sadly for now I have had to revert to the old server again for
tonights backups. All I can do now is try and work out exactly what is
going on and try to have some kind of a plan to pre-empt this caveat.
As far as the Private and Scratch category goes, the new settings (within
TSM) were the same as for the old server so I don't think it could be that.
But I will need to go through my current server with a fine tooth comb and
pick out any info I may possibly need.
You mention finding out the category code of volume using the mtlib
command. I know a few mtlib commands that I have been using, but not one
that shows the category?
Also, do you think it would be necessary for me to delete and redefine the
deviceclass just as I did with the lib,drives, paths etc? And, If I did
that, would it trash my tapepool, copypool etc?
Sorry for the all the questions but I'm tearing my hair out. It was all
going so well :-)
Many thanks
Farren Minns

This kind of message is often a conflict involving devclass, made
confusing because the message doesn't say as much as it could.
Generically, it means that TSM thinks there are no drives of the
correct *type* for the media involved. In a 3494, with its Category
Codes, it may mean that the tapes ended up with a Category Code value
which differs from those in the TSM Library definition. In this case,
do Query LIBRary and compare the Private and Scratch categories
against what the tapes actually have, as reported via the mtlib
command. Whereas you can mount scratches, it suggests that your
Private category code values may be off. Beyond that, query your
devclass configs and compare to what your full/filling tapes show for
devclass.
Whereas you moved to a new Solaris platform, there may be subtle
differences in the drive definitions which are causing problems. Do a
SHow LIBRary and compare against your OS display of tape drive
definitions.
