Hi, I'm very new to TSM and need some help from you TSM expert
I migrated my TSM server 6.1.3 from win2k3r2 x86 to win2k8r2 x64 using a DB snapshot backup and restore.
I restored the DB in the new server all seem fine but when I try to do a backup it always time out waiting for the tape/library with error (ANS1312E Server media mount not possible)
I restored the devconfig and volhistory file along with dsmserv.opt and baclient DSM.opt
I installed the w2k8 driver (IBMTape.x64_w08_6241_WHQL_Cert) with the install_exclusive.exe
Windows detect the tape drive and library ok in device manager but tsm doesnt.
I found a post in these forum that state TSM is not supposed to detect generic drive and I'm suspecting this might be my problem, I searched around for an older driver for windows 2008r2 but couldn't find any.
I'm also attaching a screenshot of my device manager.
here is the output of my drive query
Code:

My daily TSM report a lot of error similar to this one for the library:
Code: 
2014-04-08-14.15     ANR8840E     Unable to open device \\.\changer0 with file handle 2 and PVRRC 153.
2014-04-08-14.15     ANR8440E     Initialization failed for SCSI library TS3200; will retry in 2 minute(s).


and also these kind of error for the tape drive:
Code: 
2014-04-08-16.00     ANR8779E     Unable to open drive \\.\Tape0, error number=67532. (SESSION: 52)
2014-04-08-16.02     ANR8779E     Unable to open drive \\.\Tape1, error number=67532. (SESSION: 52)
2014-04-08-16.11     ANR8779E     Unable to open drive \\.\Tape0, error number=67652. (SESSION: 52)
2014-04-08-16.11     ANR8779E     Unable to open drive \\.\Tape0, error number=67656. (SESSION: 52)
2014-04-08-16.11     ANR8381E     LTO volume LVL047L4 could not be mounted in drive DRIVE1 (\\.\Tape0). (SESSION: 52)



I went into TSM manement console and ran the device wizard and it's only then that the mt4.0.0.3 drive started appearing. How do I point tsm to use these drive instead of the old one that are named \\.\Tape0 ?

It's the first time I play with a tape library and I'm clueless.

Delete all of the existing definitions for the tape drives and library. Define the tape drives and library using the right paths.

Hi, can you point me to command to delete these definitions and command to define them again. Sorry but I'm very new to TSM and trying to learn the hard way.
 
Thanks, I'll go do my homework and comeback after.
Really appreciated.
 
Thanks again, removing the path and re-adding them fixed the problem:
Code: 
Delete path TSMLVL1 drive1 SRCT=server DESTT=drive LIBRARY=ts3200
Delete path TSMLVL1 drive2 SRCT=server DESTT=drive LIBRARY=ts3200
Delete path TSMLVL1 TS3200 SRCT=server DESTT=LIBRARY

def path TSMLVL1 ts3200 srct=server destt=library device=lb4.1.0.4
 
def path tsmlvl1 drive1 srct=server destt=drive library=ts3200 device=mt4.0.0.4
def path tsmlvl1 drive2 srct=server destt=drive library=ts3200 device=mt4.0.0.3
 
Hi i have same error (LTO volume volume_name could not be mounted in drive drive_name ) on my tsm server version 6.2.3.0, than i delete path for drive and library.
When i tried to add:
def path system_name library_name srct=server destt=library device=lbx.x.x.x, i got rhis error:
ANR8418E DEFINE PATH: An I/O error occurred while accessing library LIB1.
ANS8001I Return code 15.

Search for DEFINE PATH in the doc for help on how to define the path.

Or issue: HELP DEFINE PATH.

You got an error definining the path, check: HELP ANR8418E for more info on that error.
