Hello Dwight,
according to the latest supported device list from Tivoli these libraries
aren't supported at all (just FYI). So if you will have any problems don't
count on Tivoli.
Do you have a library at the location where you are? Then I would suggest
you are doing some tape related stuff (like a database backup) and look
which tape is inserted into the drive.
If this is not possible for you consider the following:
AFAIK the Sun Storedge L280 is an OEM product from ATL (but I'm not quite
sure). So you could take the ATL Powerstore L200 device support sheet (
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/devices/atab67.htm ) as a
guideline. And also the other DLT autoloaders I know have the slots
numbered from the left to the right (31 - 36) and from the front to the
rear (37 - 38). This is in contrast to the IBM 3570 model.
I hope it helps.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,

Subject: Sun Storedge L280 question...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I know these are basically some Storedge model but...
These are the models with two (2) internal tapes and a six (6) tape
removable magazine.
If one loads up one of these devices and performs a label libvol ...
search=yes one ends up with tapes such as

L280A A0001 Scratch 31
L280A A0002 Scratch 32
L280A A0003 Scratch 33
L280A A0004 Scratch 34
L280A A0005 Scratch 35
L280A A0006 Scratch 36
L280A A0007 Scratch 37
L280A A0008 Scratch 38
Can anyone tell me for sure how these tapes are oriented within the unit ?
are 37 & 38 the internal tapes and are 31-36 the six in the magazine ?
are 31-36 left to right or right to left ?
I have environments half way around the world and I'm trying real hard to
NOT have to fly there to resolve some issues...
Dwight
