When you define the PATHs on the TSM server for the storage agent on the client node, the device= is the name of the tape drive on the client, not on the server. You need to match the drive name on the TSM server to the correct device name on the client node, then use that in the DEFINE PATH. So on your TSM server:
If library 3584 drive LTO1 points to the /dev/rmt1 device and on the storage agent client SA1 that same physical drive is the /dev/rmt3 device you would use: define path SA1 LTO1 srctype=server desttype=drive library=3584 device=/dev/rmt3 Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Karel Bos Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Library sharing Hi, Can be, but don't have to be the same...

I think I finally got the definitions correct......at least they seem to function......... However, I can't get the library client (capella) to use the drives. Every time it does, I get these errors in the activity log: 03/31/2004 09:54:13 ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt1, error number=46. (SESSION: 2663, PROCESS: 11) The "library manager" says the tape is mounted and ready..... 03/31/2004 09:52:25 ANR8337I 3590 volume 070330 mounted in drive ATL-DRIVE2 (/dev/rmt1). 03/31/2004 09:52:25 ANR9791I Volume 070330 in library 3494ATL ownership is changing from TSM-AGENA to TSM-CAPELLA. Any suggestions on what might be wrong ? AIX messages says the "-46" is "Drive Not Ready". These are FC / SAN attached 3590E1A drives.
