Hi, If you use Big brother I have a script that will check the drives every 5 minutes and will turn a status button red if a drive goes off line - and includes directions on how to fix for operations. If anyone would like it - let me know - it would be easy to change to email notification if you do not use Big Brother.
If you don't - check it out! http://bb4.com Jane %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Jane Bamberger IS Department Bassett Healthcare 607-547-4750 ----- Original Message ----- From: Magura, Curtis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 5:58 AM Subject: Re: help required for configuring Tape storage pool This one has caught us a couple of times since moving to V5.

Don't forget that, now with version 5.x, you have to check the PATH as well as the drive. Run Q PATH and see if that shows anything offline. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
