Re: 3575 through SAN Data Gateway

Hi Etienne!
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I entered the commands you suggested through the SAN Data Gateway
Serviceport:
> disableCC
> reboot
> setHost 0,"aix"
> setHost 1,"aix"
> reboot
Afterwards, I deleted and reinstalled the SAN connected library and drives.
I checked in all the tapes and as soon as I started a backup stgpool within
that library again the following messages were written to the log:

I assume that error 78 is an AIX error. If so, in means:
/* Connection timed out */

We have reported this problem to IBM support, but they also have no clue...
Kindest regards,
