Trevor,
thanks for the reply.
I should have stated that we are version 3.1.1 ADSM. Our current
atldd.driver is 3.1.5.0 and our atape.driver is 4.1.3.0.
We started having problems after upgrading both AIX (from 3.2 to 4.2) and
ADSM (2.1), back in January. We have applied upgraded ATAPE and ATLDD and
3490 micro code, as well as the latest fixes to ADSM, but the problems do
not go away (but they seem to transform into others). One of the
frustrating problems is not knowing where the problem resides. Is it ADSM
or 3494 or AIX or what? Unfortunately, within IBM, these are all separate,
and ADSM is the only one showing any errors, as the error logs in AIX and
3494 do not show any corresponding errors.
