I tried to write via tar command [ tar -cvf /dev/rmt0 /tmp ]. It successfull write to tape I tried to used tapeutil facility (halt TSM Server) Without lto3 tape inside tape drive : option 37 (write) ..... Writing file to tape... Write terminated, 0 total bytes written... Operation failed with errno 46: Device not ready Residual count: 4125543 Error Sense Data, Length 96 With lto3 tape mount inside tape drive : option 37 (write) ...... Writing file to tape... Write terminated, 0 total bytes written... Operation failed with errno 5: I/O error Residual count: 4125543 I have tried to install TSM 5.5 and Atape 10.3.7.0 but the result is still the same. I also tried to update devclass class=drive , but still the same output. The question here, why via tar command , tape can be written but cannot via TSM Tq.
