I will try new firmware levels. STK has a sort of approvement of IBM
firmware, what is not really improving the firmware, but delaying
installation of new firmware levels.
Besides, it is probably better not to have different manufactures as we
have with STK library and IBM tape drives. STK library and STK drives or
IBM library and IBM drives would be better, just an experience which is
not so astonishing.
Thank you for your answers.
