>From what I can tell nobody responded to this but I did manage to get it
worked out. Since I am used to using IBM devices I never ran in to this
and since this is an HP device in order to get it to work I needed to
change the driver to point to the TSM driver instead of it using the
delivered HP drivers that were installed when I set up the system. I
also had to disable the Remote Storage service. 

 

Once that was changed I had to remove the library TSM initially found
when it was installed and redefine the library and drive to TSM. I was
then able to label and checkin tapes and migrate data and backup the db.

I know it was late Friday when I sent this so probably most everyone was
gone and missed it. I would certainly like to hear from anyone who might
have an idea what to look at. So far everything I have looked at agrees
with what I implemented but I'm still looking.

Subject: RSM type Library (HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader)

 

I have a system I just received that I am going to use for testing. It
is running Windows 2003 Enterprise and TSM 5.5.1.0. It has attached an
HP autoloader with an LTO3 drive in it. Seems it is considered an RSM
Library so dealing with tapes isn't something I know how to do yet. I
have tapes in the unit and when trying to migrate data to them the
autoloader does seem to load tapes but it looks like almost an immediate
unload. 

 

While using the mmc I can see tapes mounted, dismounted and I have seen
message in the mmc that seem to indicate the tapes are not labeled.
Labeling isn't something that works and I have no idea why yet. Not sure
if that is handled automatically but a manual label and checkin as
scratch certainly doesn't work, at least yet, and maybe that needs
modifying or just isn't supposed to work using TSM commands for this
type of library.

 

So far it has cycled through every tape mounting and dismounting. TSM
commands for q dr and path show nothing and I assume it isn't supposed
to with this type of library. Q pr during migration shows the process
but it is waiting for a scratch tape to be mounted. Originally when I
set things up in the MMC the tapes were in "Unrecognized' but I moved
them to 'Free' manually. The changer in TSM under Removable Storage also
shows the tapes mounting and dismounting. It seems to just cycle through
the tapes over and over.

 

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. So far I have
not seen much in any documentation that helps so hopefully someone out
there can. The activity log shows mount failures but while watching the
mmc it seems to indicate tapes are mounting.
