Hi Everyone, I have a 3584 library (connected to AIX) for which I need to change the device file used in the library path. It currently points to /dev/smc0 and I need to change it to /dev/smc4.
When run the following cmd, I am told that the lib is in use . . . update path tsmlm2 3584isoc srct=serv destt=library device=/dev/smc4 ANR8450E UPDATE PATH: Library 3584ISOC is currently in use. I then try to put the path offline . . .this works, but the above command still reports that the lib is is use. update path tsmlm2 3584isoc srct=serv destt=library online=no ANR1722I A path from TSMLM2 to 3584ISOC has been updated. update path tsmlm2 3584isoc srct=serv destt=library device=/dev/smc4 ANR8450E UPDATE PATH: Library 3584ISOC is currently in use. There ARE tape mounted in some drives. Do I need to get all the drives offline and demounted to do this? What do I need to do to change the device of a library path? What's happening . . . We are upgrading the AIX server this saturday by adding 2 additional I/O drawers. These drawers will need a new/additional RIO cable. The RIO cables needs to use the same slot as one FC adapter (slot 4 of the processor unit), so the FC adapter in slot 4 will be removed. That FC adapter has one set of lib/drives defined on it, AND, those are the smc/rmt's used on the PATHs in TSM. I added another fc adapter to the lpar and moved the drive paths to these new RMT devices, but I'm having trouble moving the lib device. ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
