Update Paths from Offline to Online-Using correct command

[DMobley232]

I noticed that our Drives show online, but our paths show offline. Can you confirm i'm using the correct path to bring them online.
Source Name: Source Type: Destination Name: Destination Type: On-Line:
SMENERGY SERVER LIB0 LIBRARY Yes
SMENERGY SERVER DRIVE1 DRIVE No
SMENERGY SERVER DRIVE2 DRIVE No

Command I was going to run:

Upd path SMENERGY DRIVE1 srct=serv dest=libr devi=smc0 onl=y

Is this correct?

Upd path SMENERGY DRIVE1 srct=serv dest=libr devi=smc0 onl=y

Is this correct?

Did you get any errors when you ran it or did the path get online? Worse thing that can happen with this command is that if fails due to a syntax error or fail because the problem that made the path go offline still persists, in which case you'll need to investigate the errors further.


Edit to add:
Your library path is already online, it's the two drive paths that you have to put online. So no your command is not correct. HELP UPDATE PATH for the syntax.

You will need:
SRCType=server
DESTType=DRive
LIBRary={library_name}
Online=yes
The other options are not needed unless you are modifying them too.

I haven't ran it yet. I will look at Help Update Path and see what that says. I was going by the following site
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC58281 where It said
update path <server> <library> srct=server destt=libr device=<lb#.#.#.#> online=yes

That's a valid command if your are trying to update the path to the library to a new device name and put it online at the same time. Your library is online and you don't want to change the device name at this time. Using the same link you provided, the example they give is for a drive, so you can follow that link, just not the command you put above.

Ok, so I believe it would be like this to bring that path for Drive1 online.
Fromg q path I see the following:
SourceName=SMENERGY
SourceType=SERVER
Destination Name=DRIVE1
Destination Type=DRIVE
On-line=No

Command to try and bring path online for drive:
upd path SMENERGY DRIVE1 SRCT=serv DESTT=drive LIBR=Lib0 online=yes

Also, if any of you are looking to do a day or 2 of paid consulting, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Paths are online now after running
upd path SMENERGY DRIVE1 SRCT=serv DESTT=drive LIBR=Lib0 online=yes
Thank you for the help.
