This problem only affects customers on 3.1.2.22 with 3590E $$ drives. Subsequent servers will not recognize a 3590E volume introduced $$ to a storage pool while running the 3.1.2.22 server. $$ $$ ADSM development is providing a special server command to repair the $$ database so that customers can access the affected volumes. $$ $$ Although there is no loss of data, as a precaution, you should $$ backup your ADSM database before performing the repair insructions below. $$ $$ 1. Backup your ADSM database. $$ 2. Apply this server update (do not commit the update until you are satisfied that $$ the repair is successfull.) $$ 3. Add the option DISABLESCHEDS YES to your server options file. $$ 4. Start the server. $$ 4.1 Enter disable sessions at the ADSM prompt. $$ 4.2 Delete the 3590E drive definitions. $$ 4.3 Redefine the 3590E drives. $$ 4.4 If the current format of the 3590 device classes is not DRIVE, $$ update the format to DRIVE, 3590E-B or 3590E-C. $$ For example, UPDATE DEVCL <3590 device class> FORMAT= $$ 4.5 Display a list of the affected volumes, by running the SHOW FORMATDEVCLASS $$ command. $$ For example SHOW FORMATDEVCLASS <3590 device class> $$ 4.6 Repair the database, by running the SHOW FORMATDEVCLASS command again with the $$ UPDATEFORMAT option. $$ For example, SHOW FORMATDEVCLASS <3590 device class> UPDATEFORMAT $$ 5. After the command completes, halt the server. $$ 6. Remove DISABLESCHEDS YES from the options file. $$ 7. Restart the server and continue running. $$ <@> =================================================================== New Device Support =================================================================== For information on new devices being supported by the Tivoli Storage Manager server, please point your web browser to the following URL: http://www.tivoli.com/products/index/storage_mgt/adsm/ad60dev.htm Highlight: 1.

Firmware level used during validation process SONY SDX-500C FW : 0102 ============== Sony SDT-10000 ============== I. New Formats DDS4 and DDS4C Formats ====================== DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=4MM FORMAT=DDS4 ..... DDS4C DDS4 Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager writes data using the DDS-4 recording format for 4mm tapes, without compression. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 20GB on DDS4 tape. This format only applies to DDS4 tape. DDS4C Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager writes data using the DDS-4C recording format for 4mm tapes, with compression. This format results in a cartridge capacity of approximately 40GB on DDS4 tape. This format, however, uses the tape drive hardware compression feature, so the actual capacity may be greater, depending on the effectiveness of compression. This format only applies to DDS4 tape. II. Firmware level used during validation process SONY SDT-10000 (firmware T009) ==================== Tandberg SLR24(SLR6) ==================== I. New Formats QIC12GB and QIC12GBC Formats ============================ DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=QIC FORMAT=QIC12GB ..... QIC12GBC QIC12GB Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager writes data using the SLR24(SLR6) recording format for QIC tapes, without compression. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 12GB on 343 meter/1125 ft tape. QIC12GBC Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager writes data using the SLR24(SLR6) recording format for QIC tapes, with compression. This format results in a cartridge capacity of approximately 24GB on 343 meter/1125 ft tape. This tape format, however, uses the tape drive hardware compression feature, so the actual capacity may be greater, depending on the effectiveness of compression. II. Firmware level used during validation process Tandberg SLR24(SLR6) (firmware 0331) ================ Quantum DLT 8000 ================ I. New Formats DLT40 and DLT40C Formats ======================== DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=DLT FORMAT=DLT40 ..... DLT40C DLT40 Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager writes data using the DLT40 recording format. This results in a tape capacity of approximately 40.0GB when using CompacTape IV cartridges. DLT40C Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager writes data using the DLT40C recording format. This results in a tape capacity of approximately 80.0GB when using CompacTape IV cartridges. This format, however, uses the tape drive's hardware compression feature, so the actual capacity of the cartridge may be greater 80.0GB, depending on the effectiveness of compression feature. II.

These are used in conjunction with the previous ADSM Version 3 Administrator's and Reference guide and the ADSM Version 3 Installing the Server and Administrative Client. These diagrams can be added to their sections for recording the SCSI ID's and device names. Element addresses are used by Tivoli Storage Manager to address the tape drive device and the storage slots contained by a SCSI Library/Autochanger. The Tivoli Storage Manager command DEFINE DRIVE utilizes the element address of each drive in a multi-drive library. The Tivoli Storage Manager command CHECKIN LIBVOL uses the address of a storage slot for libraries that do not have Entry/Exit ports. With the exception of DUAL LUN (Logical Unit Numbers) devices, you will need separate SCSI ID for your autochanger and a SCSI ID for each drive in your library device. Configure the autochanger and each drive in the library separately using the procedure described in the 'Configuring a Tape Drive, or Autochanger' section of the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide. NOTE: On some libraries, the element addresses of the cartridge slots will not directly correspond to the slot numbers (e.g. slot number 1 may be element address 2, etc.). This is important because Tivoli Storage Manager will always reference cartridge slots by element addresses, not slot numbers. Note: Tivoli Storage Manager Device Drivers only support SCSI II Hardware. ---- _______________________________ Figure 1 ________________________________ Default Element Addresses for AIT TreeFrog Library (Spectra Logic 2000) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Addresses Addresses of Addresses of Addresses of Model #s of Drives Storage slots Transport Entry/Exit Slots ----------- ---------- ------------- ------------ ---------------- 15 Cartridge 82,83 0 - 14 86 N/A 30 Cartridge 82,83 0 - 29 86 N/A 15 Cartridge 30 Cartridge _______ _______________ slot 1 |___0___| slot 1 |___0___|__15___| slot 16 . | . | | . | . | . ~ . ~ ~ . | . ~ . ~ . ~ ~ . | . ~ . ~ . ~ ~ . | . ~ . ~ . ~ ~ . | . ~ . |_______| |_______|_______| slot 15 |__14___| slot 15 |__14___|__29___| slot 30 | | | | drive 1 | 82 | drive 1 | 82 | |_______| |_______| | | | | drive 2 | 83 | drive 2 | 83 | |_______| |_______| Notes: ------ 1.

Figure 5 -- Default Element Addresses for Exabyte X200 Arrowhead -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================== new parameter "cap=x,y,z" for command "CHECKOUT LIBV" ========================================================================== This new parameter is supported for ACSLS Libtype only. "cap=x,y,z", x is ACSID, an integer between 0 - 126, y is LSMID, an integer between 0 - 23 z is CAPID, an integer between 0 - 2 User can use this parameter to specify which EEPort (cap) to ejcect volumes to if "remove=yes" is also specified. To obtain a legal cap identifier (x,y,z), user need to do a "query cap all" command at ACSSA console on ACSLS server host. This parameter is OPTIONAL. Default value will be (-1,-1,-1), in which case the ACSLS server will choose any available cap with a non-zero priority. Example command syntax: CHECKOUT LIBV libr_name [volname | volrange| vollist] remove=yes cap=1,0,0
