Hello,

our 3590 tape units were upgraded from 3590B1A to 3590E1A.
Before using the 3590E Units, all tapes written by 3590Bs
got access mode readonly.
Now we try to get rid of our "old" taoes by move data
from storage pool on tape to storage pool on disk.
Normally, a move date (for a tape in an archive storage pool,
est. capacity = 14000MByte, pct. util = 100.0%) takes about 20 minutes.
Now we have one tape (same storage pool,
est. capacity = 13500 MByte, pct. util = 67.9%) that took more then 11 hours
for move data.
I cannot see any reason for this strange behaviour;
other move datas from the same 3590 Unit take "normal" times.

Any ideas?

With kind regards / Mit freundlichen Gruessen
