PROBLEM:
Why are none of my tapes being mounted automatically in the library when using

"$ZSVR MOUNT XXXXXX" is a good message
"$ZSVR MOUNT" is a bad message
"$ZSVR XXXXXX $TAPE1" is a bad message
The word MOUNT or DISMOUNT must be followed by a valid 6 digit tape number or
MLMM will not recognize it.

PROBLEM:
Why are tapes not being dismounted from my tape drives after use?
SOLUTION:
Possible Reason #1:
One of the most common reasons is that the tape drives are not defined to MLMM in
the correct order. Normally, this is caused by tape drives that are not defined to MLMM
correctly. There has to be a match between the way the tape drives are in the library
and the way they are configured in MLMM.
If your tape drives in the library are:
•
$TAPE1
•
$TAPE2
•
$TAPE3
If you have MLMM configured as:
•
$TAPE2
•
$TAPE1
•
$TAPE3
Then labeling will not work and it will hang. The way to get out of this, if you are not
sure how they are plugged in, is to drag a tape to the top tape drive, wait and see what
tape drive the system sees the tape on, write that name down and continue on with all
