We're setting up a TS3310 tape library for two TSM servers  to share
through a library manager/library client arrangement.

 

We got successful server-to-server comm, and the library client calls
for tape mounts through the library manager successfully; we can see the
tape mounts happening. But it appears that the client never gets an
acknowledgement that the tape is mounted; we get

and the migration we're trying to run tries each drive in turn and gets

 

ANR8779E Unable to open drive \\.\tape4, error number=123.

 

before giving up after each drive mounts and then finally dismounts a
tape. There is a firewall between the two servers, but the servers are
obviously talking to each other; otherwise, no tapes would be mounted at
all.

 

Anyone seen this before?
