Perfect! Thank-you that worked.. Interesting the comments are
required. I tried it without and dsmserv griped that it didn't
recognize the LIBRARYINVENTORY command.

For the TS3500 (formally 3584) you have to put the following line in your
devconfig file so that TSM knows which slot the volume is in:


/* LIBRARYINVENTORY SCSI LIBRARYNAME VOLUMENAME SLOT# 101*/

Example:

/* LIBRARYINVENTORY SCSI LIBRARY01 SA0000 1185 101*/


If you already have this line in your devconfig, it could be that the slot
number in the above line is incorrect.



Thanks,

Subject
[ADSM-L] DB Recovery Problem






When doing a "./dsmserv restore db devc=ts1120 vol=MA0001 commit=yes"
I get the following error which seems as though TSM can't locate the
cartridge even though it's in the library.. I've even tried manually
putting it in the drive and kicking off the restore db command but it
simply ejects the cartridge and returns it to slot 1025 and still
errors with the following.. I have tried both "MA0001" and "MA0001JA"
but neither does it..

Any thoughts on whats wrong? I'm running out of ideas..
