<h3 id="rzahqptppi">Tape problems</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the iSeries tape drive does not work with an integrated Windows server,
|
||
|
|
take these actions:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Verify that you have varied off the tape drive on i5/OS and locked it
|
||
|
|
on an integrated server. See <a href="rzahqftppi.htm#rzahqftppi">Allocate the iSeries tape drive to an integrated Windows server</a>. Devices may fail to
|
||
|
|
lock for one of these reasons:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The tape device or its tape library is varied on.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The device driver is not loaded.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The tape device is not supported.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you have problems with locking the device, verify that the device driver
|
||
|
|
is loaded on the integrated server. This typically happens automatically.
|
||
|
|
See <a href="rzahqverifydriver.htm#rzahqverifydriver">Verify that the tape drive device driver is loaded</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Verify that your tape drive is supported. See <a href="rzahqsupporteddrives.htm#rzahqsupporteddrives">Supported iSeries tape drives</a>.</li></ul></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>More advanced applications might lock devices to services that continue
|
||
|
|
after the application interface is dismissed. This prevents other applications
|
||
|
|
from being able to use the device. These services may restart automatically
|
||
|
|
after a system restart, locking the device to the application. To see services
|
||
|
|
of an application (such as Seagate and Computer Associates), do this:
|
||
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
||
|
|
<li>Click on <span class="bold">Start</span>, <span class="bold">Programs</span>, <span class="bold">Administrative Tools</span>, then <span class="bold">Component Services.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Double-click <span class="bold">Services.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If necessary, you can stop services from the <span class="bold">Services</span> window.</li></ol></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You may have multiple integrated servers. If so, verify that the tape
|
||
|
|
drive is unlocked on all of them except the one on which you want to use it.
|
||
|
|
See <a href="rzahqttppi.htm#rzahqttppi">Transfer control of the iSeries tape and optical drives between integrated
|
||
|
|
Windows servers</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If your system has logical partitions, ensure that you allocated the tape
|
||
|
|
drive to the same partition as the integrated server.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Verify that the drive contains a properly formatted tape. See <a href="rzahqitppi.htm#rzahqitppi">Format a tape on i5/OS for use with integrated Windows servers</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Verify that the drive is not on the list of restricted devices on i5/OS
|
||
|
|
by using the Display NWSD command (DSPNWSD).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Look in the event log for tape errors.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>See if the tape device shows up in the Device List:
|
||
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
||
|
|
<li>Click on <span class="bold">Start</span>, <span class="bold">Programs</span>, <span class="bold">Administrative Tools</span>, then <span class="bold">Computer Management</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select <span class="bold">System Tools</span>, then <span class="bold">Device
|
||
|
|
Manager</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Verify that the tape drive shows up in <span class="bold">Device List</span>.</li></ol></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the problem still persists, check the technical information databases
