Hi,
We assumed this was as a result of mis-matched drive microcode and Atape
drivers. Upgrading the drive microcode and atape lpp's to the latest
levels fixed this instantly and gave us meaningful messages once again.

Yes, we have had that. (We have 3575 library and use the Atape driver).
Updates and some new fileset installs overwrite the message catalog
for Atape messages. The solution is to reinstall the Atape driver.
Hopefully you still have the install file, if not download the current
version. You don't have to delete and reinstall, just use installp with
the
-F option, this does a force overwrite of installed package.
It keeps the device definitions (actually I think it deletes and recreates
It keeps the device definitions (actually I think it deletes and recreates
them
as they were). For safety sakes I would make sure no tape activity is
going on in *SM and print out lscfg before doing install. It only takes
about 1 -2 minutes.
IBM is aware of this problem, I don't know if there is a planned fix.

Hy all,
I have a problem with the messages in errpt on AIX 4.3.3
Since we installed Maintenance-Level 6 on AIX 4.3.3 messages from the
tape-drives in our tape-library (3490) look something strange. This does
not
only happens with new messages, also old (before the
maintenance-install)message are not more interpreted.
The messages look like this
DE9A52D1 0806150301 I S rmt2 AAA1
D1A1AE6F 0806144101 I H rmt5 AAA0
Does anybody know how to fix ?
Thanks
Christoph
