Hi,

this week we had similar problem on slightly different env
M80, AIX 4.3.3ML9,
TSM server 4.2.1.15
DLT 7000 library IBM 7337
Atape.driver 4.1.0.0
On system restart adsmtape device mt0 becomes Defined and medium changer
lb0 was deleted. Update to Atape.driver 7.0.7.0 did not help. Remove and
recreate of mt0 & lb0 did not help.
Later we upgraded bos.mp, bos.rte.* and bos.net.tcp.* and achieved some
success - on restart both mt0 & lb0 are Defined. As a workaround we put
mkdev -l mt0 & mkdev -l lb0 in rc.adsmserv and now it works. When we get
more I'll let you know.

Subject:        AIX TSM server 4.2.1.10: losing 3570 library

Enviro:
AIX 4.3.3 H70
TSM server 4.2.1.10
Magstar MP 3570-C12 (2 drive) library

Looking for TSM'ers w/AIX & a 3570 to answer this question!!!!


Upgraded from 3.7.3 to 4.2.1.10 four weeks ago.

No problems w/upgrade.

Schedules/backups running normally since upgrade!

Yesterday, upon restart of H70, the 3570 library initialization failed
upon
TSM server start-up.

Restarted TSM server several times, same problem.

In AIX smitty devices, the tsm_devices (fast path), I do not see the 3570
library/medium changer defined.

Is this normal??

Should there be one defined??

I never looked at the AIX tsm_devices area since the upgrade went smoothly
and TSM operated okay.

Please help!!
