Dan,
Did you check the files in /export/home/ACSSS/data/internals ?   The
description from you "I checked acsls and drive type for DLT7000 are
now 4890".   Base on that, we can take ADSM complete out of the
picture.   Again, can you issue a mount command from ACSSA?  The error
status for the acs_mount basically means ACSLS determined you can not
mount the media type to the drive as specified.   So, there is a
mismatch in the ACSLS configuration.  Anything changed in this area?

mtx or rmtx should not make a difference here.   Is the SCSI
connection to the drive, it just means ADSM is using a different
device driver and has nothing to do with the acs_mount.

Regards,
Stanley
