ANR8840E Unable to open device xxx with error number 2 and PVRRC 2843

[Zoleeadmin]

Hi All,

I have installed TSM 7.1.6 on Windows server 2012 R2. HP StoreOnce B5100 VTL is connected with IBM-TS 3500 Virtual Tape Library Emulation and IBM LTO3 Virtual Tape Drives to the backup server.
I see the devices in the Windows Device Manager, however the type of the Medium Changers are 'Unknown'.

I tried to define path on TSM and get the following error:

ANR8840E Unable to open device LB70.0.0.3 with error number 2 and PVRRC 2843. (SESSION: 1)
ANR8529E DEFINE PATH: Unable to open library DL_3584_CP104DB01_DC1 by using an open system call.

IBM TSM device driver is installed.

Could you please help me what could be the reason?

Many Thanks,
Regards,
Zoltan

What library is the VTL emulating?

The VTL need to be emulating a library that the TSM Server supports.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Supported Devices for AIX®, HP-UX, Solaris, and Windows

Good Luck,

Hello Sias,

I have created IBM-TS3500 VTL with IBM-LTO3 Tape Drives. This should be supported. (03584L32)
The TSMDLST see all devices, for Library example:

TSM Name ID LUN Bus Port SSN WWN TSM Type Driver Device Identifier
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lb0.0.0.1 0 0 0 1 9361120128 5001438024775CAF LIBRARY n/a IBM 03584L32 4.02

I installed the default IBM Device Driver package which included in the TSM server Installation kit. I rolled back to 7.1.0 but the issue is still the same.

Shall I install additional Device Driver?

Please advice.
Thank you an regards,
Zoltan

This VTL is supported according to the IBM link:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&uid=swg21599235

HPE StoreOnce Backup System Software version 3.13.0 has been validated with TSM 7.1.3 with the following emulation modes.

• Library emulation - IBM 03584L32 Library- Firmware : 4.02
• Drive emulation - IBM ULTRIUM-TD3 - Firmware : 8711

--> TSM recognize it correctly according to the tsmdlst:

TSM Name ID LUN Bus Port SSN WWN TSM Type Driver Device Identifier Symbolic Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lb0.0.0.1 0 0 0 1 9361120128 5001438024775CAF LIBRARY n/a IBM 03584L32 4.02 n/a
mt1.0.0.1 1 0 0 1 9361120002 5001438024775DE1 LTO IBM IBM ULTRIUM-TD3 8711 \\.\Tape0

However the driver for the medium chnager is not detected and I see it as "Unknown medium changer" in the windows device manager.

What kind of device driver is required here?

Thanks and regards,
Zoltan

I have fixed the issue. Downloaded the IBM Tape Device driver and installed it manually. After that Windows could detect all Medium Changers in the correct form and I could configure TSM pathes.

Good day to All! ;-)
