Hello All, An engineer swapped a faulty drive, two days ago.
When I tried to use it :- "ANR8963E Unable to find path to match the serial number defined for drive TAPE1" UPDATE DRIVE OVERLAND TAPE1 SERIAL=HUP5B012ZB fixed it for approx. 6 hours, during this time 3 or 4 tapes were loaded & used on TAPE1, then it reverted to above error message. Next I deleted the path and drive successfully . Redefined drive :- DEFINE DRIVE OVERLAND TAPE1 WWN=50060B00001FDB1B SERIAL=AUTO ELEM=481 Q DRIVE :- Library Name Drive Name Device Type On-Line ------------ ------------ ----------- ------------------- OVERLAND TAPE0 LTO Yes OVERLAND TAPE1 UNKNOWN No OVERLAND TAPE2 LTO Yes OVERLAND TAPE3 LTO Yes DEFINE PATH TSM1 TAPE1 SRCT=SERVER DESTTY=DRIVE LIBRAR=OVERLAND DEV=mt2.0.0.4 produces error :- ANR8420E DEFINE PATH: An I/O error occurred while accessing drive TAPE1. ANS8001I Return code 15 Any help would be appreciated. The engineer thinks it's a Windows issue, our Windows man thinks it a TSM issue ! TSM Server 5.2.2.0 on Windows Server 2003 Tape drive is one of four LTO-2s in a NEO 4000 Library Thanks Bill
