Rich,
It appears that we may have a similar setup, and we
are about to migrate to TSM 4.1 from ADSM 3.1.  Are
there any tips/minutia to be aware of for the change?
Did you do a server upgrade as well, necessitating a
migration?  Right now, we use ACSLS to communicate
directly to our DLT tape library, rather than ADSM 3.1
(our library wasn't fully supported by 3.1).  With the
problem you notated below, would you recommend keeping
ACSLS around?
Thanks
