Subject:  Problems with 3570 drives on SAN Gateway




        TSM's

        I know there's a lot of work being done on connecting 3575 ATL's
thru an
        IBM SAN Data Gateway so there's a good chance someone else (besides
me)
        has had the following connection problem:

        After connecting the 3575L12 to the SAN Data Gateway all scsi
devices
        (/dev/rmt0 /dev/rmt1 /dev/smc0) become visible to AIX as scsi (fcp)
        devices, but when doing a read test on any of the drives it
responds
        with a device not ready, errno 46. Opening the drive and querying
it's
        status does not return an error, only when trying to physically do
        something to a tape in the drive causes a drive shutdown: device
not
        ready. The robot (/dev/smc0) is working fine, using tapeutil tapes
        can be shuffled around without a problem.

        I've made sure that the very latest on software is installed on AIX
        (4.3.3 with IY05369, ATAPE 5.1.4.2) and the Gateway (03.41.27). The
3570
        drives are at microcode level 5424.

        Anybody have a clue ?

Subject: Rename NT Server Service

Hello,

Renaming the NT server services is not recommended.

The server initialization wizard creates up to four instances of the server
and names the services:

  TSM Server1
  TSM Server2
  TSM Server3
  TSM Server4

The server utilities depends on these names for certain operations.   If
you rename them then the server will work but the wizards and other
features of the server utilities will not work properly with the renamed
service.

If you must rename the services for some reason then it is better to use
remove.exe and install.exe that are located in the ...\tivoli\tsm\utils
directory.  You can run each with no arguments to get a usage message. The
majority of the dsmcutil parameters do not apply to the server and you will
have difficulty specifying the service location doing it that way.

   Does anyone know how to change the NT Service for the TSM Server?  I
   used
   the 4.1 wizard and the service was created as "Server 1".  I would like
   to
   rename/delete and recreate it with a more appropriate name.

   TIA

   For NT

   go to the location of the backup client (i.e.  c:\program
   files\tivoli\tsm\baclient)

   run the command   dsmcutil   remove /name:"server 1"

   then run    dsmcutil install  /name......with all the required
   parameters, the
   parameter list is availble in the online help of the application
