Hi, We have two NSM's sharing one 3584 library with 15 3580 drives and I have some experience with setting this up. I suggest that you start by checking the zoning of the drives in your san. Can both servers see the drives?

Our environment is the following: Library manager - TSM Server v 4.2.2.0, AIX v 4.3.3 Library Client - TSM Server v 4.2.2.0, AIX v 4.3.3 Library - IBM LTO 3584, connected to SAN with Compaq Fibre Channel SAN Switch 8-EL. TSM Server - Library Manager is working fine with the library. When we try to issue command "backup db devclass=lto_class" on library client, the following error messages are written to the actlog: On library manager: ANR0408I Session 973 started for server GED_ADSM (AIX-RS/6000) (Tcp/Ip) for library sharing.

Could somebody tell me what these errors mean and what the problem could be? Best regards, Irena Rokiene
