Verifying the Imported Database and Library Configuration

Use the following procedure to mount or dismount a cartridge to verify ACSLS.

  1. Verify that you are logged in as acsss.
  2. If ACSLS is not running, start it by entering the following command:
    acsss enable
  3. Query the server from the cmd_proc by entering the following command:
    query server

    If messages are displayed indicating that the server is in recovery mode, wait for a message indicating that the server is running.

  4. Verify that the following are online. If not, bring them online with the vary command.
    query port all
    query acs all
    query lsm all
    query drive all
  5. Do you have at least one cartridge in an LSM:
    • YES - Continue with the procedure.

    • NO - Enter a cartridge into an LSM.

  6. Mount a cartridge by entering the following command:
    mount vol_id drive_id

    Use the query drive command to get the ID of an available drive and the query volume command to get the ID of a library cartridge.

  7. Did you see a message indicating a successful mount?

    A successful mount message is:

    Mount: vol_id mounted on drive_id

    • YES - Procedure is complete.

    • NO - If an error message appears, run this verification procedure again to ensure that you specified a valid, available drive and a library cartridge. If the mount or dismount still fails, call Support for assistance.

  8. Dismount the cartridge by entering the following command:
    dismount vol_id drive_id force

    where vol_id is the volume and drive_id is the drive you specified in Step 6.
