Are you sure it is not waiting for the media used by session 3? Also I've
seen mounts postponed during audit library.
What is/was 'q se 3 f=d', 'q se 41 f=d', 'q mo' & 'q pr'?

Subject: Waiting for media? Why?
Hi,
I just looked at this output on my TSM 4.2.1.12 (Windows) server:
Output Q Sess
Sess Comm. Sess Wait Bytes Bytes Sess Platform Client Name
Number Method State Time Sent Recvd Type
------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- ----- --------
-------------------
1 Tcp/Ip IdleW 6,7 M 8,8 K 2,5 K Serv- Windows Server_1
er NT
2 Tcp/Ip IdleW 6,7 M 8,8 K 2,5 K Serv- Windows Server_2

3 Tcp/Ip RecvW 0 S 15,3 K 115,0 G Node WinNT Server_1_W2K

49 Tcp/Ip Run 0 S 130 124 Admin WinNT Admin
and I find session 41 a bit odd. Why is it waiting for media, when I have
2
LTO drives available in my 3583 library? Server_1 and Server_2 are SAN
clients, Server_3 is a LAN client. This is my PATH config, and this has
worked before:
Source Name Source Type Destination Destination On-Line
Name Type
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -------
Server_2 SERVER DRIVE0 DRIVE Yes
Server_2 SERVER DRIVE1 DRIVE Yes
Server_2 SERVER DRIVE2 DRIVE Yes
Server_1 SERVER DRIVE0 DRIVE Yes
Server_1 SERVER DRIVE1 DRIVE Yes
Server_1 SERVER DRIVE2 DRIVE Yes
Q DRIV:
Library Name Drive Name Device Type On-Line
------------ ------------ ----------- ------------
3583LIB DRIVE0 LTO Yes
3583LIB DRIVE1 LTO Yes
3583LIB DRIVE2 LTO Yes
We have been experiencing some problems with TSM but after replacing a
GBIC
on the SAN switch all worked again. I had one issue with the audit library
command: it never seemed to end (it ran for about 18 hours after which I
cancelled the process, because session 3 ( a backup that restarted after
the
reboot that didn't start before because it didn't find any drives (the
paths
where not online, so I didn't think that was odd) was also (!) waiting for
media - with drives available to mount a tape. Could the unfinished /
hanging / aborted audit library cause the issue in this case? Or is
something else going on?
If you need any further info, don't hesitate to ask...
Kind regards,
