Re: [EXTERNAL] RE: Tape Drive Configuration problems

Well apparently there were a couple of PTFs that were not part of the
Cume/Group that needed to be applied.
We have all 4 tape drives working now.

Thanks
Mike

No we don't use BRMS. We use the two drives as separate entities for
different purposes. The first drive is always our EOD tape but the second
drive may be an ad hoc backup, a tape waiting for restore for research
purposes, etc. Our EOD save fits on one tape so we'd never need to fall
over to another tape to complete the backup.

Yes I have a DD2500. But why would use drives and not a library? Are you
using BRMS?

Rob I think I have the same VTL as you EMC DD2500. My MLB is varied off
with online at ipl set to *NO and I have two TAP0* drives varied on that we
use.

@Mike, do you happen to have "new" TAP* devices you didn't have before? I
seem to recall this same thing happening to me on V7R1 years ago where
after applying a tech refresh, we got new resource names and new devices
setup. I copied down the new resource names from the new devices, deleted
the new devices and reassigned the resource names to the devices we
normally used. Then it all worked just fine.

Well, if it's a library with four drives you should NOT see ANY TAP*
drives varied on. None. Do a WRKMLBSTS instead.
Ps: Ours is a VTL also.

I hope some one can help me

We have a VTL with 4 tape drives associated with it.
This weekend, I applied, PTFS, technology refresh etc.
Then last night I found that my backup failed.
As I researched, I now have problems with my tape drive configurations.
1 tape drive has 'resource name TAP04 not found The other 3 are varied
off, but won't vary back on.

I have contacted the VTL vendor, but they haven't been able to help.
I tried to put in a call to IBM, but couldn't get a ticket created because
' I couldn't provide a 4 digit machine code of the VTL.
I have ipl'd the IOP.

Anything else I can try.
How can I get IBM to help???

Thanks
