Log onto your san switch and see if you see the tape drive connected on the
switch port it's attached to.

Hi Everyone,
This is more a AIX question then a TSM question.
But I wonder if their is any command such
cat /proc/scsi/scsi in AIX
or cat /var/log/messages |grep -i LTO

The reason why I'm asking is beause one of my tape drives it totally gone
from the AIX environment.
I run cfgmgr -v to auto-detect it and then when I run lsdev -Cc tape I did
see all drives but one of the RMT was in Defind mode or something similar.
So I try to remove the RMTx Device node and run cfgmgr -v again but now
can't I find it anymore.

I have try to remove all my Device Nodes for Tape and Library and reintall
the drivers but still. I don't see my drive anymore.
If I run "q san" I don't see it in TSM either.

Any suggestions what's going on?
I'm going to see if I can get access to the SAN Switch and the library
(TS3500) via IP. But so far I don't have any access so everything that can
help me in AIX to be 100% sure it is a Switch or Library problem should
help.

I look in errpt also and I see a Adapter Problem but I can't see what it
is. Any good switches to get a better explanation of a error in errpt?



Best Regards
