Hi,
I had the same problem. Try define everything without any sn or wwn numbers, in 
this direction:

Define library
Define drive
....
Define path (to library)
Define path (drive)
...

Regards,
Jakub

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM 6.2 DB restore not working

I'm trying to restore a database backup to a new server.  It's 6.2 on Windows 
2008 64-bit, with an HP library and LTO3 drives.  I cannot get the library to 
see the TSM device driver, and it shows up as Unknown Medium Changer.  I tried 
deleting the devices and installing the driver, but it came back the same way.  
Any attempts to install it just return a message that it's at the most current 
level.

Thing is, yesterday I was able to work around it.  I was able to change 
devconf.out to make the library a manual one, and it would mount tapes.  I had 
to do some other stuff that necessitated switching back to the old server and 
taking a new database backup, and when we came back up on the new server, the 
devconf.out was basically wiped, probably on reboot.  Now, when I try to make 
the library a manual one, I'm getting an error message that the device 
parameter in the "define path" line is not valid for a 349x library.  I have no 
clue why it's trying to make it that kind of library.
I've tried a number of different configs, and I'm beating my head against a 
wall at this point.

Original devconf.out (modified for privacy):

/* Device Configuration */
DEFINE DEVCLASS LT03 DEVTYPE=LTO FORMAT=DRIVE MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60 
MOUNTRETENTION=60 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=owner-LT03 WORM=NO DRIVEENCRYPTION=ALLOW 
SET SERVERNAME name_SERVER1 SET SERVERPASSWORD 
21461293e7e722dfc44b1113c588ad1240
DEFINE LIBRARY owner-LT03 LIBTYPE=SCSI WWN="xxxxxxxxxxxx4000"
SERIAL="xxxxxx000M" SHARED=NO AUTOLABEL=NO RESETDRIVE=NO DEFINE DRIVE 
owner-LT03 TAPE0 ELEMENT=480 ONLINE=Yes WWN="xxxxxxxxxxxx4F22"
SERIAL="xxxxxx74J9"
DEFINE DRIVE owner-LT03 TAPE1 ELEMENT=481 ONLINE=Yes WWN="xxxxxxxxxxxx6812"
SERIAL="xxxxxx74F1"
/* LIBRARYINVENTORY bunch of tapes*/

DEFINE PATH name_SERVER1 owner-LT03 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY
DEVICE=lb0.0.0.2 ONLINE=YES
DEFINE PATH name_SERVER1 TAPE0 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE
LIBRARY=owner-LT03 DEVICE=mt0.1.0.2 ONLINE=YES DEFINE PATH name_SERVER1 TAPE1 
SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE
LIBRARY=owner-LT03 DEVICE=mt0.2.0.2 ONLINE=YES SERVERBACKUPNODEID 129

The logical device names did change, and I modified them accordingly in my new 
devconf.out, but it didn't help.  I need to get this library visible in some 
way so that this database can be restored.  I've been all over the internet, 
but my Windows skills are limited, so I might be missing something.

TIA
