Hi *SM-ers!
I have a 3575 library attached to my AIX server via a SAN Data Gateway.
It's
not working correctly. When I write to one of the drives I receive AIX
return codes (78 = connection time-out). The SAN DG log is flooded with
event code 41 errors, which require no user intervention according to the
manual !?!?!?

I cannot find any information about configuring the SAN DG for a 3575
library.
Can anybody point in the direction of detailed manuals? I've tried the IBM
Website, as well as the manual "Installation and User's Guide 2108 Model
G07", but this manual just briefly explains the field and options. It does
not suggest the correct parameters. Nor was I able to find any information
about minimum microcode levels for the 3575 and the 3570 drives.
Any help will be very much appreciated!!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
