labelling volume issue after installation

[K_fish]

Hi guys,



TSM 5.2.2 on w2k server with 3583 Tape library.



i get the following when doing a "label libv" command,



03/18/2004 20:51:34 ANR8963E Unable to find path to match the serial number

defined for drive MT2.0.2.2 in library LTOLIB1 .

BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at

Does anyone have a suggestion? I've tried redefining the paths, check that the drives are online.



thanks

Hello



I had a the error:

ANR8963E Unable to find path to match the serial number

defined for drive MT2.0.2.2 in library LTOLIB1

after I changed a drive in a library. Obviously TSM detects the serialnumber of a drive while definign the path. If a drives's serial number changes while the SCSI setting remain the same, this error comes up. Try to delete the affected path(es) and redefine them.



Good luck
