most of those problems we had on 3583 library were due to magazines. after 
firmware upgrade and 
changing of magazines to "Revision B" everything went ok.

We are currently doing an initial DR-test, and received an RS/6000 and 3584
library with four drives to do the test with.
 
However, we are having quite a few problems with the library and/or drives.
*Many* I/O errors, and last night the library gave a "-=> PERM ERROR! <=-"
and after that "-> TOO MANY ERRORS! <-" in its display.
 
The RS/6000 that the 3584 is connected to was installed with an mksysb of a
different type RS/6000. The TSM database was restored from a backup of our
production server. The IBM representative said that it could be a problem
that the drive and library firmware versions of our production system are
different from the firmware versions of the test system, and that this
could be the cause of all the errors.
