Geoff, I would rmdev the smc devices and the rmt devices that are showing up as Other SCSI devices.
Install the Atape driver. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/AIX/ Then for your multiple smcs, if you don't have multiple paths defined, you could have a zoning issue. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gill, Geoffrey L. Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 10:54 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: 3584 Library I'm bringing up a remote AIX system with a 3584. Seems as though IBM left it in an unusable state and I'm trying to figure out why. What I originally saw was the below output minus the 3584 info. I ran cfgmgr and now have the below output. What is odd to me is that there are 3 3584's showing up. On the system I have here I only have the one. The defined drives I've seen before too. In fact on the system I have here, if I reboot it a few of the drives show up as defined instead of available. That doesn't happen with the 3490's on the other system. I still have one in that state and haven't been able to bring it back as of yet. These 3 are similar and I'm at a loss as to why IBM would leave an installation in a state like this. Can anyone shed some light on the library or tape drive issue? # lsdev -Cc tape rmt0 Available 40-60-00-5,0 SCSI 4mm Tape Drive rmt1 Available 14-08-02 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive rmt2 Available 17-08-01 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive rmt3 Available 54-08-01 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive rmt4 Defined 1A-08-02 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive rmt5 Defined 21-08-01 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive rmt6 Defined 5A-08-01 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive smc0 Available 14-08-02 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) smc1 Available 17-08-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) smc2 Available 54-08-01 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) Thanks, Geoff Gill TSM Administrator PeopleSoft Sr. Systems Administrator SAIC M/S-G1b (858)826-4062 Email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
