Re: Path from NAS to existing Library/Drives

Hi Fred,

Which NAS are you using? Things to double-check here are that your
datamover definitions are correct (i.e. correct HLA, LLA, username and
password). I witnessed similar errors (EMC Celerra) when I was given an
incorrect IP address for the datamover, defined my TSM datamover against
this and was unable to define any paths with the 'see previous error
messages' error reported (after a 300 or so second wait). Once I'd got
to the bottom of this and made sure the datamover had the correct IP
address, the path definitions went through successfully almost
immediately.

Good luck.

We've attached a new NAS to an existing TSM system, with a 3584 and 6
3592s.  Following the steps in Chapter 6 of the Admin Guide, everything
went smoothly until step 6, Defining Tape Drives and Paths.  Since the
drives already exist in TSM it looks like all I should have to do is
define the path from NAS to drive:

def path nasbox tsmdrive srct=datamover destt=drive
devi=name-supplied-by hardware-guy.

This produced ANR1763E, i.e., Command Failed - see previous error
messages.  But there are none of those.  I tried variations of case for
the device name with the same result.

However, when I went to the WebAdmin and tried, leaving off the device
name and using the AutoDetect button, I got a success message - for all
six drives.  But

q path f=d

shows nothing in the device name.

So, in my confusion, I ask, did I miss something when I used the CLI?
or is there something amiss in the Admin Guide?  are the paths really
there and usable?
