Hi,
we have the same problems.
We use 4 adsm-server on aix with acsls 5.2 support and two stk9710 with
8 dlt7000 drives.

Last week i found a fixtest for
the adsm-server 3.1.1.5 on aix. I hope the fixtest solve the problems we
have.
I have past a part of the instruction file

regards
michael garnebode
