I have suspected I saw it on occasion.  But not well enough to document.
I have a 3583, 6 LTO1 drives, 60 slots, and door with 12 slots.
TSM on Win2K is 4.2.3.1

Subject: Move Drmedia ... Remove=BULK asks for a reply


Greetings,
   We recently installed a new TSM server on a pSeries 650 using TSM
5.1.6.5, and a 3584 Tape Library with a L32 and D32 frames with 15 LTO
Gen 1 Tape drives.  The library has the 10 i/o slot option.
    The server and library work great, except for one quirk.  When we go
to check out our drm media, we use:

move drmedia * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk

This performs the 'move drmedia' OK, but asks for a reply back after
every tape checks out!  According to the manual, a "remove=bulk"
shouldn't require a reply, but for some reason it does on this library.
The tapes do correctly get sent to the bulk loader in the library, so
aside from the annoying request that gets generated, the checkout
proceeds normally.

 We have a 3583 library, and issue the same command to it, and it
doesn't ask for a reply.

Has anyone seen this behavior, and know what to do to stop it?
