All,

I have a NBU 6.5.3.1 server running AIX. and a STK SL8500 Library with 
dual 39-slot caps, driven by ACSLS.  Our vault jobs are to the point where 
they are consistently more than 78 tapes, and when the deferred ejects are 
performed, the remaining x-78 tapes will not eject.  We just upgraded to 
6.5.3.1 on Wednesday from 6.0MP5, which only seemed to prolong the vault 
job.  The same symptoms ocurred in both versions, but 6.5 is really 
waiting for the final tapes to eject (or so it seems).  Based on our 
observations, it appears that this is an ACSLS problem, but I wanted to 
see if anybody had any suggestions on how to know for sure.  We have 
really been ignoring this since the operators were satisfied with ejecting 
the remaining tapes manually.  But since the deferred eject is now hanging 
until it gets good eject status of the remaining tapes (again, I don't 
know that for sure), this has become a more urgent issue. 

Has anybody seen anything like this before?

Thank you,

Scott
