Mahesh,
this is a known TSM problem with version 3.7.3 .
You will need to upgrade your code to be at 3.7.3.6 or higher, this has
been resolved at these versions.

Good Luck.

Othonas

Subject:  ANR 8413E UPdate Drive : Drive is currently in use



     Hello WIZs,

     I have following issue:

     At times, the tape volume is not able to unload it self from a 3590
     E1A tape drive ( for any reason) and the drive becomes 'unavailable"
     for TSM. Though the problem gets rectified in the library but I "have"
     to restart the TSM server to make it available again in TSM.

     When I manually try to update the status of the drive , using "update
     drive .." command it gives me error:

     ANR8413E UPDATE DRIVE : Drive RMT1 is currently in use

     I don't know where it gets locked?

     Is there any way I can make it 'online' w/o restarting the TSM Server.

     Details are:

     OS: AIX 4.3
     TSM : TSM 3.7.3

     Library : 3494
     Drive : Magstart 3590 E1A

     Thanks in advance

     Best Regards

     Mahesh
