Hi.
i tried to install TSM 5.x in Suse Linux Enterprise. I want to use
a SCSI Sony DDS4 Tape Device (SDT-11000/R).
The installation es OK, but when I tried to execute
DEFINE PATH
command, I get always the same error
ANR8420E DEFINE PATH: An I/O error occured while accessing drive DRV0
After start the dsm server, y executed
define lbrary 4mm libtype=manual
define drive 4mm drv0 serial=autodetect
define path server1 drv0 srctype=server desttype=drive library=4mm device=/dev/tsmscsi/mt0
When (previosuly) executed ./tsmscsi, everything is fine, the special name /dev/tsmscsi/mt0 was created, but the mttest command not work OK.
Y tried with TSM 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 and always get the same error.
I try with Suse Enterprise 9 with different kernel levels, and after that, I tried with Suse Enterprise Server 10 too.
First, I foud articles talking about scsi card, and commands not supported. I change my adaptec 2940 UW for another cards, and the situation was the same.
Finally I install Windows 2000, and tried the same installation (adaptec 2940UW and SONY Tape), without problems.
But I need the installation with Linux.
In IBM TSM pages, the SONY DDS Tape is supported, the firmware level is OK. From linux, tar commands executes OK with /dev/st0.
Perhaps someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
