Steve,
Number of logical libraries is currently set to 1 and library mode is set to
random.
I have the control path option checked only for drive number 1 at this time.
Here's how it's showing up in SST/Hardware Service Manager:
Logical Hardware Resources Associated with IOP
Type options, press Enter.
2=Change detail 4=Remove 5=Display detail 6=I/O debug
7=Verify 8=Associated packaging resource(s)
Resource
Opt Description Type-Model Status Name
Virtual IOP 5774-001 Operational CMB06
Storage IOA 5774-001 Operational DC03
Tape Unit 3580-003 Operational TAP02
Tape Library 3573-040 Operational TAPMLB13
Tape Unit 3580-003 Operational TAP01
The one that's appearing as a standalone drive is drive number 2.
Should I try doing a factory reset on the tape library?
Thanks,
Erik Dabrowsky

Sounds like you have the tape library configured as 2 virtual libraries and
one of them is in sequential mode. You will need to change the TS3200 config
to be just a single library with both drives. This can be done via the
front panel but is easier via the GUI.

Thanks Rob.
I was able to get parallel saves done with the SAS attached tape library. I
just had to tell BRMS to use TAPMLB01 and set min/max devices to 2.
Now I'm trying a TS3200 with two fibrechannel drives on a different system,
and things look a bit different.
I'm trying to get it to appear as a single library with two drives.
I have both tape drives in the library connected directly to a 5774 HBA on
the iSeries.
It's showing up as a tape library with one drive in it and the other tape
drive is appearing as a standalone drive.
I tried enabling the control path for both drives and after that it shows up
as two tape libraries each with one drive in it.
Do I need to use a fibrechannel switch?
Thanks,
Erik Dabrowsky
