HI All,

TSM Server 4.2.1.8 on AIX 433_06 with 3494/3590E1A 

I just received 180 tapes (At Last!) and went to label the first 20.
When I ran label libv with checkin, 11 out of the 20 failed to label.
I reran these several times and eventually all but 1 labeled correctly; the 
second last took three attempts, I gave up on the last one after three attempts 
plus an attempt to write other data to it using tapeutil failed.

These are Imation 3590K carts.
Can I expect this sort of drama for the whole 180?

Secondly,

During the second attempt at labelling I used 

label libv search=y volr=blah00,blah19 checkin=pri devt=3590

The first two tapes were labelled ok, the third one was also labelled ok and 
put away by the robot but the label libv process hung at that point.  I had to 
halt and restart TSM to continue.
Has anyone else seen this on a late version of TSM? I know something similar 
was around in 4.1...
