We have had 3290 installed since 7/16.  No operational
problems, but it did introduce a bug for sites that
have their LTO on the network...you have to unplug
the ethernet before you can do drive microcode updates.

We also have drive microcode level 36U1 installed.
Found the above bug when we tried to update drives
on 7/17.

Anybody of you daredevils already implemented this code?
What are the benefits and what differences do you see?

We have just upgraded our LTO1 drives to 35V0 and library to 3060. We had 
already planned everything through change control etc. and then IBM told us 
that we could also upgrade to 3290... So this is next change...

IBM also placed a new type of spring/clip in the LTO1 drives, helping a lot 
against stuck tapes (or error code B881 on your 3584 library). The weekend 
before the change we had 17 of 35 drives offline due to stuck tapes... Grrr.

So if you see many of these errors, ask your CE for the new clip placement...

Hi *SM-ers!
For all other proud owners of an IBM 3584 UltraScalable library: IBM has
silently published a new microcode (level 3290) for this library. You =
can
find it at: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/358x/3584/, filename
3290bin.tar or 3290bin.zip.
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
