I work mainly with IBM libraries and am struggling with a Scalar i6000 library with HP LTO4 drives connected to two physical AIX servers running TSM.
The scenario:
Server 1...AIX 5 with TSM 5.5...original server that is using the library. Atape used with tape drives; changer discovered through TSM devices.
Server 2...AIX 7 with TSM 6.3...new TSM server with Atape loaded.
The plan is ot make Server 2 a TSM library manager and make server 1 a library client until it is retired.
The issue:
While the new TSM Server can see all the tape drives and can manipulate them with Tapeutil, we can not see the changer/robot. We went through smitty devices, TSM devices but nothing gets found when the discovery is run.
The questions:
1. Is there any other software/drivers I need to load beyond ATAPE and the TSM Device driver?
2. Is it not possible for two AIX servers to see the same robot at the same time?
3. Is there a setting in the library that gives the TSM server access to the robot?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...I've been through the manuals and web searches but no luck.
