Yesterday, I finally took the step and upgraded the server from 2.1.5.18
to 3.1.1.5. (AIX, oslevel 4.2.0.0)

The upgrade went smooth, an everything seems to work fine.

Except from one thing..

MOst data from the clients go to disk-pools, which migrate to tapepools
(3590's, 3494 library)
migration, reclamation and similar tape-related operations work fine after
the upgrade.

Some clients with large datafiles transfer ther data directly to the
tapepools.
And here is the problem...
The server issues an

 ANR0530W Transaction failed for session 424 for node
 FORMALHAUT (OSF/1) - internal server error detected.

when the tape should be mounted. Nothing else..

The client (still at V2) issues an ANS4301E. (the file in this example is
"redirected" to the tapepool due to the maxsize of 100M in the disk=pool)

Normal File-->   1,031,342,400 /mn/formalhaut/u1/wiik/ANA/doppler.14
..................... ** Unsuccessful **
ANS4116I One or more files will be stored on offline media
ANS4118I Waiting for mount of offline media....
Retry # 1  Normal File-->   1,031,342,400
/mn/formalhaut/u1/wiik/ANA/doppler.14 ..................... **
Unsuccessful **
ANS4301E Server detected system error


Anyone out there seen this behavior?
ANy hints will be apprecieated...

Thanks, Tom.
