Hi..........

 

We have a TSM system (V5.3.4.2) on an IBM 9133-55A with 4-IBM 7311-D20
using FC5758 4GB FC PCI-X adapters.  All fourteen FC adapters are
connected directly with fourteen IBM LTO3 tape drives.  All firmware is
current - LTO3 --> 73P5, 3584 --> 7360.  Here is what is happening at my
site and wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same??

 

1) stopped TSM system

2) loaded Atape V11.0.2.0

3) loaded AIX V5.3 ML 7 SP 2  -- 77 filesets to be installed

4) re-booted server

5) half of the RMTXs and SMC0 went into defined mode and the others were
available

6) re-cycled IBM 3584 library

7) ran cfgmgr -v

8) All RMTXs and SMCXs are in the available state

9) Started TSM system

 

Anytime we need to re-boot the server, we need to run through steps #4 -
#8.  IBM p-series personnel came up with this process (PMR#13QJ2QQ),
however, power re-cycling of the IBM 3584 a good thing (?).
