We started seeing this error after we upgrade to 5.4.2.0 ANR8963E Unable to find path to match the serial number defined for drive XXXXXX in library IBM3494 This error causes the path to go off-line. We update the path with AUTODETECT=YES and it fixes the path every time. But the error will happen again and again... but to a random drive.
IBM asked us to turn on SAN Discovery to resolve the error which has generated this error: ANR1791W HBAAPI wrapper library /usr/lib/libHBAAPI.a(shr_64.o) failed to load or is missing. We are running AIX 5.3 and the correct version of the API is loaded. This whole thing is starting to drive us nuts with paths dropping every day and with IBM not having a solution yet. Does anyone have a solution to these errors? We are stuck and IBM is working on it.
