We are running adsm v2.1.7 server on os/390 v1.3.  I just noticed a
strange behavior while looking at the actlog this morning.  It appears
to back up the data then delete the just created volume.  This is
happening with all clients, hpux and solaris.  client ver 2.1.6.  hpux
v10.01, solaris v2.6.
Below is an extract from the activity log.  Anyone out there got any
bright ideas?  We are going to switch to v3.1.x and 3590 drives after
the switch to os/390 v2.6 this summer.
