L700 problem

[msestevam]

we have a STK L700 with two drives LTO2 (IBM FC) and robo (FC) each one of them hardwired by one 6228, configure the library and drives without presenting errors, however, when initiating one label with the option checkin=scratch the unit liberates the cartridge but robo does not catch arresting the process in tsm server, the unit was defined as SCSI without sharing, some idea?

 

[run]

lets see if we can narrow the problem down.



try manually, loading the tape into one of the tape drives and see if you can do a tar to a tape. If this works then likely the you are using the correct tape drive. I can't remember if I used the AIX driver on my LTO2 drive or the TSM driver (under smitty devices-TSM device).



If that works then try creating a manual library and define that drive to the manual library, and see if that works. Create the device class and try to do a database backup. it will prompt you to load a tape.



I'm not sure how you configured the "SMC" device which is the scsi library changer unit.

Give the above steps a try and tell us what happens.

we made this and OK, no problem.



the charger was recognized as /dev/lb0.



executing SHOW SLOTS < Library > we receive correctly to the information of the L700



I go to execute the trace to verify some information on the assembly of the volume on the label operations.
