Hello, everyone!

ITSM 5.1.6.4
AIX 4.3.3.10
IBM pSeries 6M1 w/8GB RAM & 6-processors
Diskpool: 455GB
Tape Library: IBM 3494 w/6 - 3590H1A-FC drives; each drive is direct
attached to 6M1
Nightly backup: 1-2TB - 1.5TB

Running a backup stg tapepool copypool maxpr=2 and have this strange
situation:

 . . . given the above, this system is sitting essentially idle; but in
the q pro output above the Files Backed Up has been sitting at the same
number with the same Current Physical File for more than 30-minutes.
Surely, this should have completed by now!?!

JFYI, given that I issued the command with maxpr=2 there should have
been two processes; one of the processes completed successfully.

There are no errors in the actlog.  When I go through the 3494's web
interface, there are no commands in queue.  All drives are available,
all paths are available, no errors on FC adapters, or network
interfaces.  No errors on either volume.  I know this should really not
be affected, but here it is anyway: (a) CPU Utilization for last
20-minutes on all processors is less than 1%  (b) no page faults, page
ins or outs, and (c) all hard drives are at 0% busy.

Anyone else experienced something like this?  Any suggestions?

TIA

Mahesh
