Hi folks, We have two TSM 6.3.4.300 servers connected to a STK SL3000 with 8x LTO5 drives, and 8x LTO6 drives. One of the TSM servers is the library manager, and the other is a client. I'm seeing odd behavior when the client requests mounts from the server. My understanding is that a mount request for a volume will be placed preferentially in the least-capable drive for that volume; that is, a LTO5 volume mounted for write will be placed in a LTO5 drive if it's available, and in a LTO6 drive if no LTO5 drives are available.
What I'm seeing is that LTO5 volumes are ending up in LTO6 drives first, even with no LTO5 drives in use at all. I've verified that all the LTO5 drives and paths are online for both servers. I haven't played with MOUNTLIMIT yet, but I don't think it'll do any good since I think that still depends on the mounts ending up in the least-capable drives first. Any thoughts? -- -- Skylar Thompson (skyl...@u.washington.edu) -- Genome Sciences Department, System Administrator -- Foege Building S046, (206)-685-7354 -- University of Washington School of Medicine
