Hi Chet, Hi Paul,

we do have the same problem with an Exabyte EXB-480 jukebox and a DLT4700
jukebox. Starting with running 2.1.0.7 we got this problem. I opened up a
CALL at the IBM hotline (PMR 4551X). They told me, that I had to remove
the "Other Tape drive" definitions. But this didn't help.

To see that some others have this problems makes me feel at least a little
better, since the hotline did not see a problem with ADSM.

It would be a good thing if the hotline would be as responcive as you are
Paul.
