Notes:
Parameters
|Specify DEVICE="" on the UPDATE DRIVE command to remove any existing |device specification. The server will not be able to access the |drive. However, a NAS file server can access the drive if a path to the |drive is defined with the DEFINE PATH command.
For additional information about device names, see the DEVICE parameter description of the DEFINE DRIVE command.
You can issue this command when the drive is involved in an active process or session, but it is not recommended.If you make the drive offline while it is in use, the drive will be marked offline. However, the mounted volume will complete its current process. If this volume was part of a series of volumes for a given transaction, the drive will not be available to complete mounting the series. If no other drives are available, the process fails.
|Attention: When a drive is in use, do not specify the DEVICE |or ELEMENT parameters with the ONLINE parameter. The drive will not be |updated, and the command will fail.
The drive state is not changed even if the server is halted and restarted. If a drive is offline when the server is restarted, a warning message is issued stating that the drive must be manually brought online. If all the drives in a library have been updated to be offline, processes that need a library mountpoint will fail, rather than queue up for a mountpoint.
The server uses the element address to connect the physical location of the drive to SCSI address of the drive. To find the element address for your library configuration, consult the manufacturer's information.
Additional information on element addresses can be found at the TSM Web site: http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html. Follow the links to device information. Select the appropriate product and platform, then scroll to the required device. Click on a specific device to see element addresses.
Consult the drive manufacturer's information for cleaning recommendations. If the information gives recommendations for cleaning frequency in terms of hours of use, convert to a gigabytes value by doing the following:
Examples
Task
Update DRIVE3, located in the library named AUTO, by changing the element address to 119.
|Task
|Update DRIVE3, located in the library MANLIB, to take it |offline. |
