ReplyDeleteHi Anil Sir,
ReplyDeleteRequest you to answer me below question it would be really very helpful.
1.In IBM 3584 Library how many tapes it support..?
2.Configuration of VTL on TSM...?
It would be really appreciated for your help.
Thanks,
Amit
Hi Amit,
Delete1) The number of tapes or tape drives in any library is dependent on the money you spent. A small IBM 3584 library can support more than 100 tapes with more than 2 tape drives which is a basic model.
2) You have to use VTL device type for configuring the VTL to TSM server. You can find it in IBM website the full steps.
Many Thanks for your reply
DeleteHi Anil,
ReplyDeleteI have errors in Tape drive and replaced that drive. But after replacing i need to add path but getting this error :
ANR8418 Define Path : An I/O error occured while accessing the library. Library is fine. Please help.

Hi Rohit,
DeleteTry restarting the tape library and run tsmdlst command to get the correct device names.
If its on windows, you can also use device names from device management .
