reservation on the drive. Resolving the problem This error scenario was seen on Windows 2003 Library Manager and an AIX Library Client. The drive paths and definitions were checked out and the configuration anr8779e unable to open drive error number= 2 was correct. To verify that the Library Manager, or another application on the Tivoli Storage Manager Server side is holding a reservation for the drive, please do the following steps: 1. Use the IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) to verify that errno 16 is happening outside of Tivoli Storage Manager by trying to open any drive. Note: The drive does not need to have a tape loaded, unable to open drive error number 2 the errno 16 (EBUSY) is received during the attempt to open the drive. 2. Power off the Library Manager Server. 3. Power cycle the library, this may not be required, but will ensure that any reservation held on the drive is cleared. 4. Repeat step 1 again; if the drive opens then the Library Manager is holding a reservation on the drives. . . . Check the following IBM device driver parameters to verify they are disabled: 1. DPF (Data Path Failover) 2. CPF (Control Path Failover) 3. Disable third party software used to monitor SAN devices . . . Note: DPF, and CPF, are parameters of the IBM device driver, and this problem is most likely an IBM device driver issue.

another application or another host. The error can occur if the Removable Storage service in Windows is enabled or if NTBackup is used. Other applications or drivers can also http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21282640 take control of tape devices and cause this problem. This error can also occur if the IBM device driver was not installed with install_exclusive.exe. Resolving the problem There are a few reasons that can cause Windows to report a device to be busy. In the vast majority of cases, the problem is external to Tivoli Storage Manager http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21222766 and caused by the configuration, and such troubleshooting will need to be done outside Tivoli Storage Manager. Here are some common cases known to cause issues: 1. Ensure that the Windows "Removable Storage Service" is disabled. 2. Ensure that if an IBM device is used requiring the IBM Device Driver, that it is installed with install_exclusive.exe and running the latest release. With install_exclusive.exe, the driver will issue automatic reserves on open and also prevent multiple open handles from the host to a drive to exist at the same time. This is required by applications such as Tivoli Storage Manager. Full instructions on installing the IBM tape driver can be found in the Device Driver Install and User's Guide: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S7002972&aid=1 3. Check the SAN configuration. Item 1 and 2 are easy to solve, however most problems occur at the SAN layer. Here are some items on the SAN that will need to be verified: that the HBA firmware and driver is adequate for the drive used, consult the following te

Symptom The following error http://marc.info/?t=116678708300003&r=1&w=2 is seen, followed by the process failing: 02/04/2012 09:28:09 ANR8779E Unable to open drive MT0.0.0.1, error number=2. (SESSION: 22) Cause The device is error number using an incorrect device driver for use with Tivoli Storage Manager. Diagnosing the problem It's common to see this error when attempting to define the path to a drive when the incorrect device driver is associated with the drive. The Windows Device Manager can be used to unable to open determine what device driver is currently associated with the drive (properties->device driver). Resolving the problem Install the correct device driver for the drive to resolve this problem. IBM tape drives typically use the IBMTape device driver and non-IBM drives use the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver, however, the device support page should be checked to verify the correct driver to use with a specific device. http://www-01.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_AIXHPSUNWIN.html The IBMTape device driver can be obtained from the IBM Fix Central download site: ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/IBM_Fix_Central_Site.html Product Alias/Synonym TSM Document information More support for: Tivoli Storage Manager Server Software version: All Supported Versions Operating system(s): Windows Software edition: Edition Independent Reference #: 1422674 Modified date: 2013-02-27 Site availability Site assistance Contact and feedback Need support?
