Is your library set up as "manual" in the devconfig? In my experience,
using an external library requires this setup for the DB restore. Give
that a shot. We had similar problems with a DB restore one time using an
STK 9310 Library. Once we had the devconfig right, it worked like a charm.

I got the same error when I was doing a DB restore for one of our W2K

/dev/mt0.0.0.n.  In W2K the device name does not need the (/dev), as that
is a AIX definition.

Tomas,

I saw these same errors setting up a TSM 5.2 server in an AIX environment
going to a STK 9310 using Gresham EDT software.  I could do queries but not
read/write to any tapes.  My problem was, after I defined the library I
needed to run the define path command;

define path tsmservername stklibraryname srctype=external desttype=library

externalmanager=/usr/lpp/dtelm/bin/elm

The externalmanager path will be different.  I hope this helps

Subject: Restore DB problem


Hi all,

I have a problem with restore DB from external library STK9310 PowderHorn
managed by Gresham EDT on W2000 TSM server. This is restore of TSM server
on
the same machine with volume history file and devconfig file enabled. I did
it many times successfuly with other libraries (almost local SCSI
connected). I prepared DB and RL volumes the same size and location as
original by DSMSERV FORMAT command and try to do restore DB (DSMSERV
RESTORE
DB TODATE=date). This is important part of output:

ANR7800I DSMSERV generated at 09:17:48 on Nov  5 2002.

Environment:
TSM server 5.1.5.2 on W2000, Gresham EDT controled library STK9310 with 6x
STK9840 FC drives, virtualized through SN/6000. I see all drives in system,
Gresham is running and working good (I can do mounts, query ..etc).

Do anybody have some idea what is the problem, or would I open PMR on IBM
support?

Many thanks
