Has anyone had this type of problem happen...

Running ADSM 2.1.0 v12, when I issue the command:

                move drmedia <tape name> wherestate=mountable

Of course the command issues a process and goes on its way, during this process 
if I issue
the command "q drmedia" nothing is returned to the screen, in fact the cursor 
stays in a
hung state. I need to issue a "<ctrl> C" to get out of "dsmadmc" and then 
return.

Now here is the interesting thing about this, the process never ends it will 
stay in
a running state, meanwhile the tape has finished processing, it is returned 
back to
its slot in the library, I never receive a "reply" to acknowledge the checkout, 
nothing
shows up in a "q request", nothing in "q mount", and the last log entry for 
this process
was "verifying label". The process, if I issue a "cancel process" will never 
end it will
stay always pending. What I end up doing is shutting down ADSM and restarting 
the server.

Now if I restart the same process as above and let the " move drmedia" finish 
everything
works great.

Why would the "move drmedia" process hang up if I where to issue a "q drmedia" 
???

This is not good especially when one operator might be running the " move 
drmedia" command
and then someone else issues the "query" to look up the status of drmedia.

Any help on this would be appreciated....

Thanks in advance.
