mtlib vs. tapeutil
2004-11-12 09:22:55
Hi TSM'ers,
I've 2 IBM H70, the one running under AIX 4.3.3 ML11 ("ds3") and the
other under AIX 5.1.0.0 ML 5 ("ds4", being a "standby" for the "ds3")
- Both have access to a 3584 LTO-2 library.
- Both have the same "reserve_support" -status, i.e.
ds3# lsattr -D -l smc0 -a reserve_support
reserve_support yes Use Reserve/Release on Open and Close True
rzds4# lsattr -D -l smc0 -a reserve_support
reserve_support yes Use Reserve/Release on Open and Close True
- Both show the same available tape-devices ( lsdev -Cc tape )
ds3# lsdev -Cc tape

TAPEUTIL:
- Both can run "tapeutil" and move e.g. a tape from slot 1421 to
import/export slot 769 using the /dev/smc0 and back from 769 --> 1421
- Furthermore I can run the
move 1421 --> 769 on the "ds3" and
move 769 --> 1421 on the "ds4"
- Following a "pause" to the 3584-library an
audit library <library-name> checklabel=barcode
puts things in sync for the TSM-server running on the "ds3"
MTLIB:
- trying to run "mtlib -l /dev/smc0 -DE" works perfect on the
AIX-4.3.3-box, i.e.
ds3# mtlib -l /dev/smc0 -DE
Type Mod Serial # Devnum Cuid Device VTS Library
003580 TD2 10012395 00123950 1 0
003580 TD2 10105918 00059180 2 0
003580 TD2 10015924 00159240 3 0
003580 TD2 10016634 00166340 4 0
but produces
ds4# mtlib -l /dev/smc0 -DE
Operation Failed (errno = 22) - Invalid argument
A similar behaviour is seen for:
ds3# mtlib -l /dev/smc0 -qL
Library Data:
operational state..........Automated Operational State
functional state...........00
input stations.............1
output stations............1
input/output status........ALL input stations empty
ALL output stations empty
I/O stations in input mode
machine type...............3584
sequence number............13792
number of cells............721
available cells............320
subsystems.................4
convenience capacity.......10
accessor config............02
...
but
ds4# mtlib -l /dev/smc0 -qL
Query operation Complete - No error.
i.e NO o/p on the AIX 5.1-box
Any idea why the 2 programs behave differently with resp. to /dev/smc0 ?
