Hi, Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem.
I am in the process of migrating data from a V3.1 ADSM server connected to a 3494 library containing 4 * 3590 drives. I have set up a new ADSM server 4.2.1 to act as a data recovery server. This server has a 3590 with a stacker attached. The method I use to restore the data is as follows:- 1. Full archive of data. 2. Full database backup at Site A 3. Database backup and archive tape shipped to site B. 4. Point in time restore of database at Site B and an upgrade db. 5. define library lib1 device=/dev/rmt1.smc shared=no 6. define drive lib1 drive1 device=/dev/rmt1 element=16 online=yes 7 upd devc atl3590 library=lib1 8. Allter dsm.sys file on client and restore data. This has worked for 4 servers without a problem. However, when trying to restore data from a 5th server, I get a No drives available in library and a mount request denied. I can still restore data from the other 4 servers that have been migrated. The only think I can think of is the mounlimit when the archive is taken. The mount limit of the dev class is 4. My next attempt is to update the mountlimit to 1 on the source server , cut the archive and retry the restore.. Has anyone got any suggestions / work arounds. ? Can you daisy chain multiple 3590 drives to represent a single library ? I don't think it is possible as a storage pool points to a devc which points to a drive. Thanks in advance Jason
