These are normal "errors".  I have 3575-L32 on AIX 4.3.3 with TSM 3.7.4.0.  One 
thing that is not normal is the "Description" of AAAx.  Check with IBM.  We had 
this and it was caused by installing some S/W packages(may be any S/W) that 
overwrote some of the error templates or something like that.  It seems to 
effect the "Atape" drivers errors.

To solve we halted *SM and reinstalled Atape with the overwrite option 
(installp with the -F option).  That way you don't have to uninstall and 
reinstall it.  Make sure you have current lscfg of your devices in case it 
doesn't restore correctly, ours worked o.k. This rewrote Atape errors and it 
worked o.k.

Have a 3575 tape library

[user@host]:/home/user> lsdev -Cctape
rmt0 Available 20-58-00-0,0 IBM Magstar MP 3570 Library Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 20-58-00-1,0 IBM Magstar MP 3570 Library Tape Drive
smc0 Available 20-58-00-0,1 IBM Magstar MP 3575 Library Medium Changer

And we are often getting the following sorts of errors in the error report,
as the tape library is automatically cleaning itself etc, are these valid
errors or is this some sign of misconfiguration between the system and the
library.

Running AIX 4.3.3 ML4 ADSM 3.7.1 (TSM)

Any pointers appreciated.

thanx Brian
