Hi Ken,
I have a similar config here: AIX 4.1.5 running the enhanced ADSM server 2.1.12
from Open Microsystems Inc. 9710 library with DLT7000's. If you are running 2.1
on were AIX, then it should be the Enhanced version. All the drivers were
developed by OMI (so that IS your third party driver!).

Anyways, my problem is that I have about 1/2 dozen tapes that are missed up.
There were written to correctly, but when ADSM went to read them to back them up
I/O errors started appearing. So far, hardware checks okay and we now suspect an
OMI driver problem. I was hoping that moving to V3, where the new drivers are
integrated into ADSM, would fix our problem.

Anyone have similar problems that conveniently disappeared when they moved to
V3?

Hi,
We have big problems with getting ADSM v2 and v3(Aix 4.2 and NT40)
to work together with DLT 7000 drives(Installed on a STK 9710 Robot).
Backup and Restore usually worke fine, but when you start to
copy tapes adsm loses track of where the tape is,
and it looks like there is an time out problem
between adsm an dlt7000.
The microcode of the dlt7000 is Level 70 (I belive this is the newest)
and the microcode on the STK9710 is 1.8.01(Ithink this allso is the
newest versjon).
Do anyone else have this problem, and do you know how to fix it.
Allso do anyone know of an thid party driver for ADSM, may be it
works bether then the original ADSM driver???
Thank.
