Device locking danger.

Please note, this may be common knowledge to some of you but I thought I'd
mention it again.
TSM Server can have problems if you are accessing a device like /dev/rmtX or
a SCSI media changer
/dev/smc0 with tapeutil. You will see in the actlog the server is unable to
access the device as you
have already initiated an exclusive lock on the device.
Therefore, if you are going to do tapeutil procedures or anything else that
accesses/queries the devices,
do so when the server is inactive, and DO check it's health afterward and
the actlog for error messages.
We've seen this occur ourselves a couple of times now on TSM 4.2.2.0
