Well here is yet another new one for me. I run this to eject tapes and it
creates a file that the mainframe uses to create a list of tapes going to
the vault. With the 3494 and TSM 5.2 there is nothing else to do. Today I
ran this for the first time with a 3584 and TSM 5.3.3 and only one tape
ejected. When I checked the activity log I saw the message "ANR8322I 001:
Remove LTO volume T00003 from entry/exit port of library 3584LIB; issue
'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready."



I am assuming that changing remove=yes to remove=bulk will fix the issue of
the system waiting for a reply and if the I/O port becomes full it will
continue to wait till they are removed and the port made available again. I
am also assuming that if the 1 hour time set elapses without the port
clearing will also result in an incomplete process.



Feel free to reply if any assumptions are incorrect.
