Are there any updates to the problem with the STK libraries and losing
communication with TSM?

We are now experiencing this on our STK 9710 library with 9840 drives. It
appears frequently when a mount is requested and then we get a library
failure. The same tape can be mounted a minute later and things are fine
again.

We are running:  ACSLS 5.3.2
                 TSM 3.7.1
                 AIX 4.3

07/31/00 21:54:29 ANR8855E ACSAPI(acs_mount) response with unsuccessful
status, status=STATUS_LIBRARY_FAILURE. 07/31/00 21:54:29 ANR1401W Mount

Any help with this would be appreciated.
