Well, I"m confused again. Just set up TSM for a customer with a TS3500 (3584). Three logical partitions in the library, one for a for VTS, 1 for mainframe, 1 for TSM. ALMS installed, VIO enabled. TSM partition has 4 drives, 255 VIO slots. Have assigned the TSM tape volser range to the TSM partition.
TSM is 6.1 on Windows. Getting weird behavior when we do a CHECKOUT or a MOVE DRMEDIA with REMOVE=YES Sometimes on the CHECKOUT, TSM activity log shows the tapes checked out and ejected successfully, and the tapes appear in the library I/O door as expected. Other times on the CHECKOUT, TSM activity log shows the tapes checked out and ejected successfully, and the tapes aren't in the I/O door. But looking at the 3584 operator panel we see "volume vvvvvv ejected", followed by "volume vvvvvv inserted". Looks to me like the 3584 VIO is grabbing the tapes as they are checked out, and putting them back in.... Has anybody experienced behavior like this? Seems like a firmware problem to me, or is there something I'm missing in the partition setup? W
