Re: Problem with Storagetek L20 and 5.1.6.2

I had a simailar problem with DLT1 drives, There is an readme on the TSM
site how to update the TSM installation with the SHOW FORMATDLT1 admin
command with the UPDATEFORMAT parameter.
and UPDATE DEVCLASS DLT1 or DLT1C.

You seem to do everything correct and if it does not work the best way is 
to open a PMR with IBM. Try to rescreate the problem on another box.

I upgraded 4.1.6 -> 5.1.5 ->5.1.6.0 ->5.1.6.2 I don't remember the version
for the ITSM device driver as I went back but it was the latest available
on the tivoli server. But there was something peculiar : when I issued an
update all with the 5.1.5 cd, the devices were not updated and I had to
specifically install it.

To answer to you last question : I hope that the fact that the drivers
doesn't function is not normal ! :-))

How you did the upgrade (4.1.6 -> 5.1.6.2 or 4.1.6 -> 5.1.0.0 -> 5.1.6.0
-> 5.1.6.2 or otherwise)?
What is the fileset and version for the ITSM device driver?
You hope wrong or you hope normal :-)

Hello,

I juste upgraded my TSM server on AIX 4.3.3 to 5.1.6.2 from 4.1.6 and I
had
to reinstall the devices software at 4.1 level to have my Storagetek work.
The library functionned but the DLT1 drives where unable to read tapes. I
got the following message :

20.02.03   14:06:43  ANR8302E I/O error on drive DLT1.2 (/dev/mt1)
(OP=SETMODE,
                      Error Number=22, CC=207, KEY=FF, ASC=FF, ASCQ=FF,
                      SENSE=**NONE**, Description=Device is not in a state
                      capable of performing request).  Refer to Appendix D
in
                      the 'Messages' manual for recommended action.

I just updated TSM to 5.1.6.2 and removed the drive and the library before
recreating them.

Did I do anything wrong or is it normal (I hope not)
