does anyone know.
Is it possible to replace the 3575L32 medium changer board for a 3575L12
medium changer board?
ex: does it fit, does it know the library is higher than the original one
etc.

Does adsm 3.1 have a layer of "TSM" device drivers that sit on top of the
Aix ones line 4.x and 5.x do?
      I think a "lsdev -C -c adsmtape -s scsi -H" should show you that (if
3.1 even has that layer of devices)

Have you also tried to blow away and re-add your devices in TSM (My
understanding is your aix level devices seem to work). Also do you have any
method of accessing the drives from Aix? I have a tool called tapeutil on
my Aix 4.3.3 and TSM 5.1 system, however I have no clue if that came with
3.1. I have used that tool to mount drives in libraries (3494) even with
TSM down to isolate if the problem is TSM  or aix.

Sorry if I can't be of more help, I have *no* experience with ADSM v3.1, I
only got in on the fun with TSM v4.1.5


Good luck,

The libray is not initialized under tsm because smc0 is not properly
configured, so an audit libray doesnt work does it?

yes I did, I set all the drives internal id's to 0.
did a config library from the panel and assigned the id's on the library
according to the book (drive1 scsi0 drive 2 scsi1 etc.) then I let it up to
AIX to cable select the id's with cfgmgr. The id's under AIX are correct.

Did you configure or reconfigure all the drives and especially the SCSI
ID's
from the LIBRARY?

Hi all,

This morning I've changed a broken tapeunit (3570-C1A) in the library
(3575L32) and while I was at it put in an extra 3 drives.
AIX (4.3.2.0) had problems booting, and hung on LED 899.
Solved the problem by attaching the drives one by one on the scsi bus.
Now /dev/smc0 doesnt want to go through cfgmgr smoothly. when unhooking the
cable for a few seconds its being configured anyway. at least according to
a
lscfg -Cs scsi.
It says its available. Now adsm (3.1) doesnt want to initilize the library.
I've tried everything. unhooking al drives but 1 (rmt0 or drive1) I've
tried
other cabling, terminators and even screwed out the drive and replaced it
by
another. 2 AIX guru's have looked at it but they havent got a clue either.

I'm beat, my backups havent been able to migrate, and backups are starting
at 00:00  hour!!!

michelle

Ps: richard, sorry for sending directly to u, but I'm really desperate.
