I am running TSM 4.1.3 server on a Win2000 machine.  That machine is
connected to an IBM3494
tape library over ethernet.  The 3494 contains three fibre attached 3590E1A 
drives that talk to the TSM
server over an IBM 6109 SAN switch.  I have added thirty tapes to the ATL that 
are the new "J" tapes and
am having trouble when checking them in.  Sometimes the checkin process works 
just fine and sometimes it
abends with an error.  When this error occurs, the TSM service stops and I have 
to log onto the server to restart
the service.  The error is not consistent, it is not tape specific or drive 
specific.  I was running 4.1.2 but upgraded to
try and resolve this issue....that did not work.  Has anyone seen this error 
before?  Can anyone offer some suggestions?
