Hi!
We just added 4 more AIT-drives to our Qualstar-library.
This (SCSI)library can hold up to 12 drives, and we use the (old)
element-adresses of 500-511 for the drives.
The library has to drive-bays. The left one holds the original 4 drives
with element-number 500-503.
The new drives were placed in the right bay with element-numbers 506-509.

However, TSM insist that the new drives are at 504-507:

tsm: BIT>show slots qualstar
PVR slot information for library QUALSTAR.
Library          : QUALSTAR
Product Id       : TLS-412360
Support module   : 4

Mount count      : 0

Drives           : 8
Slots            : 360
Changers         : 1
Import/Exports   : 1

Device           : /dev/rmt/8lb

Drive   0, element 500
Drive   1, element 501
Drive   2, element 502
Drive   3, element 503
Drive   4, element 504
Drive   5, element 505
Drive   6, element 506
Drive   7, element 507


So, I was wondering: Is this a bug, or should drives in this and/or similar
SCSI-libraries be mounted without any empty drive-slots inbetween them?

Server is 5.3.2.0, Solaris.
