Hello all,

   We are running ADSM V3.1 on OS/390 V2.4 with TCP/IP 3.2 our tape device
is an IBM 3494 MAGSTAR
tape server. Here is my problem. When I schedule an NT client backup (all
of our clients are V3.1also) which
is to go directly to tape the session starts and when the MEDIAW message is
received it seems that the session
hangs and the scheduler starts another session. This happens every night
and I can have as many as 15-20
sessions active for the same client. Eventually a connection is established
and the backup runs however this adds
time to our backup processes. Also this problem only seems to exist on the
NT/95 client base. If anyone has any
input or is experiencing a similar problem please let me know.

                              Thanks in advance,

                              Brian Nick
