Define 7332-220 4mm autoloader tape drive in TSM
Jack Li
I am tring to define the 7332-220 4mm autoloader as a automated library in TSM.
Can anyone give me some instruction? The ENV is AIX5.2, TSM 5.1
The devices is available in AIX system.
#lsdev -Cc tape
rmt0 Available 10-80-00-6,0 7332 4mm Auto Loader SCSI Tape Device
There is no smc0 device.
Thanks a lot.

if you want to use smc device driver you need to install it first
smc is atape device drive available on ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/
instructions are there as well.

in addition to my previous posting:
I think you do not need to use smc device, as far as I remember 7332
4mm autoloader support included in tsm base device module so you need
to use /dev/lbX for the library and /dev/rmtX for tape drives (add
them using smit) see
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/IBMStorageManagerforAIX5.1.html

I have tried to add the library using
smit->devices
->Tivoli Storage Manager Devices
->SCSI Attached Devices
->Library/MediumChanger
->Add a Library/MediumChanger
Library/MediumChanger Type ADSM-SCSI-LB
Library/MediumChanger interface scsi
Description Tivoli Storage Manage>
Parent adapter scsi0
* CONNECTION address [6,0]
But I got the following error:
Method error (/etc/methods/cfgtsmdd):
0514-051 Device to be configured does not match the physical
device at the specified connection location.
There is no /dev/lbx device. Any advice?
Thanks.

It looks like AIX device but not TSM, remove it first using rmdev -d
then try again. Check if there are some other scsi devices having the
same scsi id on the scsi bus, if so change scsi id on the back panel
of tape autoloader. In some cases scsi id of autoloader (robot) and
tape drive may differ from each other (I'm sure it's true for 3995
optic or 3570 tape libs) or share the same id; if so LUN will be
different. Check 7332 setup guide.

Yes you are right I changed the LUN to 1 then the /dev/lb0 is
available.
When I run the list command, the lb0 is show up
#lsdev -Cc library -H
name status location description
lb0 Available 10-80-00-6,1 Tivoli Storage Manager Library
Now I am creating the automated library, it show some error
TSM:TSM>
define library auto4mmlib libtype=scsi device=/dev/lb0
ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: DEFINE LIBRARY
auto4mmlib libtype=scsi device=/dev/lb0
ANR2020E DEFINE LIBRARY: Invalid parameter - DEVICE.
Any hint?
Thanks a lot.

TSM5.1
I have tried both automated and manully library define. But both has
the error " No drives are currently available in library " when check
in the volume.
The manually library step listed:
tsm>define library m4mm libtype=manual
tsm>define drive m4mm drive01
tsm>define path discovery drive01 srctype=server desttype=drive
library=m4mm device=/dev/mt0
ANR1720I A path from DISCOVERY to M4MM DRIVE01 has been defined.
ANR1434W No files have been identified for automatically storing
deviceconfiguration information.
tsm>DEFINE DEVCLASS tape4mm_class library=m4mm devtype=4mm
format=drive
tsm>define stgpool tape4mm_pool tape4mm_class maxscratch=20
When I try label the volume:
tsm>label libvolume m4mm vol001
ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: LABEL libvolume
m4mm vol001
ANR0984I Process 3 for LABEL LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at
17:46:40.
ANR8799I LABEL LIBVOLUME: Operation for library M4MM started as
process 3.
ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library M4MM.
ANR1434W No files have been identified for automatically storing
device configuration information.
ANR8802E LABEL LIBVOLUME process 3 for library M4MM failed.
ANR0985I Process 3 for LABEL LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND
completed with completion state
FAILURE at 17:46:40.
I think the tape drive configuration is not correct. I have test the
/dev/mt0, it can rewind and tar file to the tape.
Any advise?
Thanks.

Looks good. check if drive status is online. (def path ... online=yes)
TO dW: thanks for tivoli link.

I have checked the status. It is on line.

You may notice the query drive "device type" is unknow. I am new in
Tivoli and not sure where is the problem. Any other command to test
the drive to make sure it is working?
Thanks.

puzzling... i'm thinking of 3 possible reasons:
1 see user action on 8447 error (messages guide, not too much
infomation actually: q mount, q drive, dismount...)
2 commands sequence:
tsm 5.1 doc says:
- def drive ref. says: since tsm 5.1 use def path instead of def
drive
- quick start says: right sequence - def lib, def path, def drive
(your sequence is different)
- def path ref says: drive must be defined before def path
- my defconfig (real from tsm 5.1) includes: def lib..., def
devclass..., def drive...
what a mess... adsm (tsm3.7) doc was MUCH MUCH better! try the last
one...
3 6,0 scsi id for lib and 6,1 for drive (not sure, I don't remember
how I did configure this box ~3 years ago...no differences from some
other scsi libs, just smit and adsm device, i think you did it right
on aix level)

Hi Alex,
Finally, I get solve this problem by use TSM web admin console. The
web graphic config interface is much easier by command line. The
sequence that you mentioned is right for automated library, but for
the manually lib is differet.
The 6,1 is for the lib and 6,0 for the dirve, elemnet=1.
I think I gave the wrong server name when define path which may cause
the drive cannot be connected. Now every thing is fine.
Thanks a lot for you help.
