I have a system I just received that I am going to use for testing. It is running Windows 2003 Enterprise and TSM 5.5.1.0. It has attached an HP autoloader with an LTO3 drive in it. Seems it is considered an RSM Library so dealing with tapes isn't something I know how to do yet. I have tapes in the unit and when trying to migrate data to them the autoloader does seem to load tapes but it looks like almost an immediate unload.
While using the mmc I can see tapes mounted, dismounted and I have seen message in the mmc that seem to indicate the tapes are not labeled. Labeling isn't something that works and I have no idea why yet. Not sure if that is handled automatically but a manual label and checkin as scratch certainly doesn't work, at least yet, and maybe that needs modifying or just isn't supposed to work using TSM commands for this type of library. So far it has cycled through every tape mounting and dismounting. TSM commands for q dr and path show nothing and I assume it isn't supposed to with this type of library. Q pr during migration shows the process but it is waiting for a scratch tape to be mounted. Originally when I set things up in the MMC the tapes were in "Unrecognized' but I moved them to 'Free' manually. The changer in TSM under Removable Storage also shows the tapes mounting and dismounting. It seems to just cycle through the tapes over and over. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. So far I have not seen much in any documentation that helps so hopefully someone out there can. The activity log shows mount failures but while watching the mmc it seems to indicate tapes are mounting. 08/22/2008 13:43:40 ANR0985I Process 15 for MIGRATION running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 13:43:40.
