Also turn the SAN Discovery option ON, we have figured out that the only way
SAN Discovery would work was to run TSM as Root in UNIX. If you have SAN
Discovery option ON, it is supposed to fix any discrepancy.
I would make a spread sheet of all devices for library manager/client and
update the path definition on Library manager to reflect that. Here is any
example of one, in this case the rmt number match for Library Manager and
clinet. When you define a drive leave the default for "serial" option and for
the path definition use "autodetect=yes" which is not default.
Drive Name Frame Row Element No Manager Client
DR5218 1 1 257 rmt7 rmt7
DR5167 1 2 258 6 6
DR5467 1 3 259 3 3

Are you comparing the element number/serial number on each rmt device on the
client with the path definition for the client on the library manager. rmt2 on
the manager is not necessarily the same as rmt2 on the client and the path
statements on the library manager have to resolve any differences.

I checked the drives to see what element numbers they were pointing to
and checked the library to see what element they were showing for the
drives, all are in sync.
Thanks,

I've seen something similar in the non sharing environment if the
element number to drive relationship is whacked. For instance, you
suggest that the drive at /rmt0 is element 256 when in reality it's 257.
The library is instructed to mount a tape in element 256 and then TSM
looks for tape in /rmt0.
Verify that the paths and element numbers actually line-up correctly.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Library Manager
I have setup a library manager in TSM.
This server is TSM 5.5.2
I am setting up a library client and it also has TSM 5.5.2.
The TSM library manager is using the drives with no problem.
I have setup the paths for the library client and I'm having problems
with the client.
The server, when requested, will mount a tape from the client and change
ownership to the client name.
Within the client activity log I get:
ANR0408I Session 15 started for server LIBRARYSERVER (AIX-RS/6000)
(Tcp/Ip) for
library sharing.
ANR0409I Session 15 ended for server LIBRARYSERVER (AIX-RS/6000).
ANR8779E Unable to open drive rmt2, error number=2.
ANR0409I Session 3 ended for server LIBRARYSERVER (AIX-RS/6000).
ANR1404W Scratch volume mount request denied - mount failed.
Librarymanager tapes from AIX:
lsdev -Cc tape
rmt0 Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt1 Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt5 Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
smc0 Available 07-08-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP)
I have checked the serial numbers of the drives on the server to the
client and I believe that they are correct.
Can someone help me in figuring out what I have missed or what might be
the problem?
Thanks,
Marshael
