We saw this problem also. We ended up writing an OS script that the
operators start. It does the below command and then looks for one of two
things. If a request is found then it replies to it. If the move drm
process goes away then it stops. This has worked very good for us. But
like you said the library and command do not do what the book says.

I have suspected I saw it on occasion. But not well enough to document. I
have a 3583, 6 LTO1 drives, 60 slots, and door with 12 slots. TSM on Win2K
is 4.2.3.1

Subject: Move Drmedia ... Remove=BULK asks for a reply
Greetings,
We recently installed a new TSM server on a pSeries 650 using TSM
5.1.6.5, and a 3584 Tape Library with a L32 and D32 frames with 15 LTO Gen
1
Tape drives. The library has the 10 i/o slot option.
The server and library work great, except for one quirk. When we go to
check out our drm media, we use:
move drmedia * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk
This performs the 'move drmedia' OK, but asks for a reply back after every
tape checks out! According to the manual, a "remove=bulk" shouldn't
require
a reply, but for some reason it does on this library. The tapes do
correctly
get sent to the bulk loader in the library, so aside from the annoying
request that gets generated, the checkout proceeds normally.
We have a 3583 library, and issue the same command to it, and it doesn't
ask for a reply.
Has anyone seen this behavior, and know what to do to stop it?
John Schneider
