MSL2024 Tape Library
We recetnly install this tape library on a ES40's. This library is connect to the SAN switch that goes with the Fibre Channel disk subsystem. I know with the system disk, we had to do a WWIDMGR setup to see the disks, do we need to do the same with these tape drives?
After the site had a downtime, they rebooted and they were not able to see the tape drives. They had to do an IO Find, then an IO Auto.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
No you don't do WWIDMGR for the tape drives. The IO FIND and IO AUTO was sufficient.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
The information is stored in SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$DEVICES.DAT and unless you delete that file the information should remain through reboots.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
Are you up to date with your patches, especially FIBRE-SCSI?
Please provide hardware models and OS versions. Can you also attach the file SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$DEVICES.DAT (it's a text file)?

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
The two types of system effected at ES40's and As4100. They are both operating at OpenVMS 7.3-2 with
DEC AXPVMSVMS732_FIBRE_SCSI V11.0.
Attached is the Sys$devices.dat file. The new tape drives are referenced in the file, but they did not get setup after the reboot.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
How may reboots did you do wherein the tape drives didn't show up after the reboot? I have a feeling it's just once (for each system). Have you tested by rebooting again?
My gut feeling is that the id's on tape library changed somehow and so when VMS booted up it didn't configure the tape drives. That's just a guess though. I strongly suggest trying another reboot with logging of the startup (enable this through sysman startup).
