I know this sounds weird, but make sure that all of the old tapes were
marked readonly. Instead of getting an i/o error on the drives that try to
mount the tape readwrite (a trace will show "incompatible format" or
something to that effect).
I had problems reclaiming and migrating (error message was no drives
available) after we upgraded from the E to H drives, and the problem was 4
tapes that were written after I had updated all the tapes to reado, but
these were reclaimed (newly written to) just prior to me bouncing TSM and
updating drives with cfgmgr.

Hi,
we have move one tsm-server from sun solaris to another sun solaris server
use
the old library and drives.
We habe installed tsm-server 4.2.4.1 and use 3494 with 3590e drives
Installed devicedrivers are IBMtape.4.0.6.5.bin and lmcpd.5.2.2.0.bin
We reconnect the drives to the new server.
After reboot all four drives are available
root@wlb06310# ls -al /dev/rmt/*st
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/3st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@2,1/IBMtape@0,0:st
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/4st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@2,1/IBMtape@1,0:st
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/7st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@3,1/IBMtape@0,0:st
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 29 10:03 /dev/rmt/8st ->
../../devices/pci@6,4000/scsi@3,1/IBMtape@1,0:st
With the tapeutil tool we can check the drives an anything is ok.
The lmcpd is started and we can connect the library with the mtlib command.
But after redefine the drive (delete/define drive) i can only use the
/dev/rmt/3st and the /dev/rmt/8st devices.
I test it with "move data"
TSM activitylog say ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library
I have updated the mountlimit of the deviceclass configuration from
"drives" to
"2" .
There are no other processes run , no other mount on the drive.
I don't know what the problem is.
Any idea ??
kind regards
