Richard, "dyntrk" is set to "no" on our systems. I am not familiar with this setting; what does this have to do with this problem? And I have always been told that SANDISCOVERY should be NO on AIX. Of course, things like that change, and I remember reading an APAR where the default setting changed at some version of 5.5.

Also, make sure the s/n and wwn of the drive (q drive f=d) is correct for the rmt/paths you define. . . . but . . . The couple times we had this kind of problem I crawled through all the info for drives, paths, rmt. Everything was correct for all tsm servers and storage agents. But we still got mount failures and reservation conflicts. That's why I finally deleted _everything_ and recreated it all. Do you have dyntrk set on for the fscsi protocol device (lsattr -El fscsiX)? We do. I've often wondered how it interacts with sandiscovery.
