Strange thing labeling UDO in Plasmon G24
2005-07-28 05:10:26
Hi,
we have a new Plasmon G24 library with two UDO1 drives (no barcode reader)
attached (SCSI) to a TSM 5.2.4.5 (64bit) on a p630 running AIX 5.2 ML6.
According to the TSM support pages this is a (well?) supported
configuration.
I observed two things which make me smell trouble:
1.
After defining library, drives and paths (see below) the drives
are listed as of drive type "REMOVABLEFILE".
From my experience with IBM MOs I remember that they appeared
as device type "OPTICAL".
What is the expected benaviour?
2.
When I try two label a UDO medium (again, details below), I get an ANR8807W:
ANR8807W Could not write label U00000 on the volume in drive UDO0 (/dev/op0) of
library PLAS01 because volume is already labelled ROOT.
This is a brand new medium!
Trying to overwrite the label fails miserably:
ANR9999D pvr.c(5796): ThreadId<51> writeLabel vector not valid for drive UDO0.
Callchain of previous message: 0x0000000100017d94 outDiagf <- 0x00000001000ecd84

Any hints for me???
TIA,
Andreas
