Error description
Starting in Spectrum Protect server version 7.1.6, the AUDIT LIBRARY command returns error GRC_PATH_INVALID_DEVICE, when tape drives are powered off or removed, SANDISCOVERY is set to off, and the drive paths to the devices still exist in the server. The AUDIT LIBRARY will fail with the following generic message that does not describe the reason for failure: . ANR8460E AUDIT LIBRARY process for library <LIB_NAME> failed. . . Trace statements will show the following: . [psQValidFileSystem]:statfs for /dev/rmtxxx failed with errno 2 [PvrPsOpenDevice]:open() with errno is 2 devName is /dev/rmtxxx [DiscoverNewPath]:Attemtping to discover a new path for drive DRIVEX (/dev/rmtxxx) with serial number of 0000010101010. [DiscoverNewPath]:SAN discovery is disabled. [MmsCheckTapeId]:Drive DRIVEX failed to open with the device /dev/rmtxxx error 2843 . Error 2843 means : GRC_PATH_INVALID_DEVICE . Note: Older server versions were not coded to return error GRC_PATH_INVALID_DEVICE, when drives are powered off or removed. Previous versions reported the AUDIT LIBRARY process as successful when these types of inconsistencies existed with the inventory of library devices. . Initial Impact: Low . Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Applies to all current 6.3 and 7.1 server versions. . Additional Keywords: TSM 7.1.6.0 SANDISCOVERY ERRNO 2 TAPE DRIVES
Local fix
Make sure all tape drives are powered on, and all defined drive paths are available on the OS.
