A continuation on a problem I posted earlier..we're not up, but it appears
that when TSM issues the seek to a location on the tape, It's now taking
almost 30-minutes for that to happen. In the mean time, the library/channel
seems to hang.

Question is....if the library can't do the seek, will it rewind the tape and
read the data until the point of the seek? This is becomming very painful
and has only started happening last friday. Right now we have a complete new
Windows2003 server, latest Ultrium drivers, TSM 5.2.3.0, a new 3583 library
and drives..latest firmware on library and drives.. Everything except the
tapes is completely new. Is there anything on the tape that would cause seek
issues?
