It is very likely that the command issued by TSM to the library is not
being interpreted correctly and is being seen as a SCSI "attention" command
where the library instruction is to reset upon reception of the attention
command. This is one for TSM support or the STK support... a bus analyzer
will have to be put on the line to get both sides of the interchange when
the blow up occurs. You need to find a different way to get tapes into the
library in the interim...

Hi,
I have a STK L700 (Rev. 2.36) tape library with 9840 tape drive. TSM 4.2 on
a Win2000.
I can checkout tapes but I get the following error when I try to checkin
tapes:

ANR2017I Administrator JET121 issued command: CHECKIN libvol l700_library
