DSM Tape Catalog Migration
products while the old version had its configuration tables in a user SQL catalog,
DSM/TC will not find the configuration tables.
To prevent this problem from occurring, after the upgrade, SQL/MP compile
MEDIADBM, specifying the previous user SQL catalog with the existing configuration
tables. Then start to use the tape catalogs.
DSM/TC MEDIACOM now supports media types DLTIII, DLTIV, CART9840, DDS,
DDS2, DDS3, CART3490, SDLT, LTO1, LTO2, and LTO3 in all the tapevolume and
pool related commands. Sometimes the tapevolume type is seen in Mediacom as it
should be, for instance a previously labeled DAT tape will appear in the output of INFO
TAPEVOLUME as “DAT”, while in the VOLUME table it appears as “CARTDAT”. Until
the pool and tapevolume type is set anew it isn’t possible to use old tapes. After you
upgrade, issue these commands:
ALTER POOL < pool-name>, …, TYPE ANY
ALTER TAPEVOLUME < tape-name>, POOL < pool-name>, …, TYPE <
type>
ALTER POOL < pool-name>, …, TYPE < type>
