Hi
Environment is all AIX, TSM 6.3.2 library manager and library client. TS3500 library using standard I/O hopper (no Virtual I/O)
The library manager services about 5 library clients.
A colleague of mine emailed me this morning to ask me to look at a problem they had yesterday, and its left me baffled.
basically they do "move drmedia * wherestate=MOUNTABLE tostate=VAULT source=dbs WAIT=yes remove=bulk" and use the cmd and cmdf options.
So as expected checkouts began for all the eligble tapes
However, although the library manager checked out the tapes (eventually , there was a delay as the I/O hopper was full, which is not unusual there) , the library client never acknowledged these check outs, i.e there were no messages along the lines of
28/05/13 08:35:41 ANR6697I MOVE DRMEDIA: CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME for volume
B00923L5 in library TS3500 completed successfully.
Hence, the tapes were not sent to VAULT. Then TSM tried to use them and over a short period all of the tapes were set to unavailable as obviously the library manager couldn't mount them.
The only error on the library client was
27/05/13 10:57:46 ANR0985I Process 806 for MOVE DRMEDIA running in the
FOREGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at
10:57:46. (SESSION: 367225, PROCESS: 806)
27/05/13 10:57:46 ANR1893E Process 806 for MOVE DRMEDIA completed with a
completion state of FAILURE. (SESSION: 367225, PROCESS:
806
The library manager shows no errors , apart from one tape it couldn't checkout because it was in use and the I/O full messages.
I've asked my colleague how often this happens as I don't think this is a one off. Today everything was fine and worked as it should.
I just wondered if anyone else has come across anything like this ??
Thanks
