How is the 3575 performing with ADSM?  Are you getting the throughput
     advertised by IBM.  If so, what SCSI configuration are you using,
     single bus, multi-bus, etc...  Thanks.

Subject: Lost VCR DATA--3570/3575

We have ADSM 2.1.5.13 - A 3466 Netstore with 3570/3575 drives.

We had some drives that needed cleaning but the cleaning cartridge was not in
the tape silo -- therefore, when tapes were read we received the following
message:

05/21/1998 09:38:59  ANR8776W Volume 164543 in drive RMT3 (/dev/rmt3)
contains lost VCR data; performance may be degraded.

The IBM CE came out and worked on the physical box, we thought the problem
was fixed.  Then when the tape drive mounted the tapes with VCR lost data on
them, we get an I/O error - LOCA
TE error -- then ADSM just hangs.

I am opening a PMR this morning with IBM - but thought I'd throw this out
there to see if anyone else experienced this problem and has any
recommendations....Thanks.
