hello all,
        I have a customer on tsm aix 5.3.5 using TS3310 and wants to DR
        to a system with MSL 6060.
        They tested 6 months ago successfully on LT02 with a 3583, but
        have since migrated to LT03.
        TSM recovers ok but when restores are run - when they finish the
        drive frequently becomes stuck - left sticking out of drive and
        then tsm seems to get the tape, put it in slot, back in drive,
        back in slot and the library hangs sometimes, tsm hangs too.

        Tried 3 different MSL's with same result.
        Found an advisory for similar in 5.1.3 but not mentioned since.

        Using IBM tapes if that's relevant.

        any ideas anyone?

        regards Nigel (UK)
