Mark!

You might be on to something here!....
I have 2 SCSI adapter cards, each is connected to a 3490E-C22
(each 3490E-C22 has 2 tape transports) - I'm not sure which part of the
device "location" is the SCSI-ID portion.  I'll check it out.

I'll take you up on your offer - could you send me a copy of your "smit"
device
config using something like:
     smitty devices
          Tape Drive
               List All Defined Tape Drives
and then, for one of them (eg:  rmt0   Available 04-02-00-4,0 IBM SSD 3490E
Tape Drive)
     smitty devices
          Tape Drive
               Change / Show Characteristics of a Tape Drive

Much appreciated!

Roland,

I will make a stab at your problem.

If my memory serves me right (the old saying, "I got a great memory, but
its short!"), we too got a bunch of ANR8303Es, especially during heavy
drive usage.  The problem was the SCSI fast/wide controller was not
configured right.  Turns out that a valid card address are values 2-7(?) and
we had a value of 1.  If this is your problem, and you need more
nitty-gritty, we can compare our configurations.
