Hi Bernaldo,

We also run TSM on HP-UX.  I don't recall ever seeing that exact message,
but my guess is you either have a hardware problem with those two devices
(or something along the path to those devices... are they on the same FC
adapter or SCSI bus?),
          -- OR --
HP-UX has renumbered the device files.  I have had that happen, and I'm not
sure why... To be sure, you should do an 'ioscan -fnC tape'  and compare it
to the files in /dev/rmt  ('ls -l /dev/rmt').  If the devices have been
givien new instance numbers, I have found that the easiest, surest fix is
to delete the drives and paths from TSM and redefine them.  You should also
remove any old unused special files from /dev/rmt by doing 'rmsf -a
/dev/rmt/23m' (for example).  That command will remove the definition from
the kernel and all of the special files that were associated with that
device... 23m, 23mn, 23mb, 23mnb.

After appearing this issues on actlog, TSM do not release the device file,
so device file remains busy. The only solution that I find at the moment is
to halt the TSM server to release device files.
When I re-start the TSM it could access the device files normally until
this issue occurs another time...

OS VERSION HP-UX 11.00
TSM 5.2.6.3
Using HP-UX Generic Driver to access tapes (stape).
Working with GRESHAM EDT 7.4.0.5.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
