Can you see that the library is indeed hanging a tape in some drive?  And if 
so, is it indeed the correct drive?  Visual inspection of what you think is 
happening is what I'm suggesting.

I checked the drives to see what element numbers they were pointing to
and checked the library to see what element they were showing for the
drives, all are in sync.

Thanks,

I've seen something similar in the non sharing environment if the
element number to drive relationship is whacked.  For instance, you
suggest that the drive at /rmt0 is element 256 when in reality it's 257.
The library is instructed to mount a tape in element 256 and then TSM
looks for tape in /rmt0.

Verify that the paths and element numbers actually line-up correctly.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Library Manager

I have setup a library manager in TSM.

This server is TSM 5.5.2

I am setting up a library client and it also has TSM 5.5.2.

The TSM library manager is using the drives with no problem.

I have setup the paths for the library client and I'm having problems
with the client.

The server, when requested, will mount a tape from the client and change
ownership to the client name.

Within the client activity log I get:

ANR0408I Session 15 started for server LIBRARYSERVER (AIX-RS/6000)
(Tcp/Ip) for

library sharing. 

ANR0409I Session 15 ended for server LIBRARYSERVER (AIX-RS/6000).

ANR8779E Unable to open drive rmt2, error number=2.

ANR0409I Session 3 ended for server LIBRARYSERVER (AIX-RS/6000).

ANR1404W Scratch volume mount request denied - mount failed.

 

Librarymanager tapes from AIX:

lsdev -Cc tape  

rmt0  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt1  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt2  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt3  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt4  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt5  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

smc0  Available 07-08-02 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP)

 

client tapes from AIX:

lsdev -Cc tape  

rmt0  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt1  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt2  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt3  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt4  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

rmt5  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

smc0  Available 07-08-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP)

 

I have checked the serial numbers of the drives on the server to the
client and I believe that they are correct.

 

Can someone help me in figuring out what I have missed or what might be
the problem?

 

Thanks,

Marshael
