This is a return code returned to IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) by the operating system via the device driver (IBMtape or

TSMtape) when attempting to open a device special file. On Unix operating systems, errno 16 means that the file was busy, or EBUSY. On Windows operating systems, the errno is 170, but the meaning is the same. This error indicates that the operating system could not satisfy IBM Spectrum Protect's request to open the device, because it was in use somewhere else. When dealing with special device files, this means anr8779e error number 79 that the device has an open reservation on it through a different HBA, which typically means on a separate host (but could be the same host if multiple HBA's are in use). What sequence of events occur during a library sharing tape volume mount? The Library Manager is responsible for drive allocation and assignments. Once a drive is as allocated, the owning host (Library Client/STA) ensures exclusive ownership by "reserving" the drive and the Library Manager maintains the drive inventory and owners. The following is an example of the sequence of events that tape place for a single drive assignment in a library sharing environment: 1. A library client (LC) or storage agent (STA) requires a tape mount resource. 2. The LC/STA requests a drive from the library manager (LM). 3. The LM locates an available drive, reserves the drive, mounts a tape, and verifies the tape label. 4. The LM then releases the drive reservation and passes the drive to the requesting LC/STA for use. 5. The LC/STA reserves the drive, verifies the tape label for itself, and begins read/write operations. 6. When the LC/STA is finished writing/reading, it verifies the label, releases the reservation, and passes the drive back to the LM. 7. The LM reserv

ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt5, error number=6. ANR8779E Explanation - The drive cannot be opened by the server. In AIX, error number http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21579521 is the value of errno returned by the operating system. System Action - The transaction needing the drive fails. User Response - User error number in conjunction with operating system documentation to narrow the scope of the cause. Inspect the drive. Ensure the dirve is powered https://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l@vm.marist.edu/msg45010.html on and ready, the cables are properly connected and terminated and that the device is properly configured to the operating system. ---- The drives have been cleaned, power cycled, etc. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas? > Kathie > Kathie Foresti > Lockheed Martin Corporation > Enterprise Information Systems > Phone (315)456-1941 > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Previous message View by thread View by date Next message Re: tape drive errors Foresti, Kathie Re: tape drive errors Richard Sims Re: tape drive errors Prather, Wanda Re: tape drive errors Bill Fitzgerald Re: tape drive errors Prather, Wanda Reply via email to Search the site The Mail Archive home adsm-l - all messages adsm-l - about the list Expand Previous message Next message The Mail Archive home Add your mailing list FAQ Support Privacy 1AC04B260E108F4EACA5197BCD5CFB5C12AFCD@EMSS04M11.us.lmco.com
