Nigel,

Which version of the TSM Device Drivers are you using? Can you verify
that the correct TSM Device Drivers are being used on the Tape and
Medium Changer devices?
I have had a custormer who was also DRM-ing to an MSL6060 and they had
very similar problems and found out that it was a combi of OS (W2K3), HP
device drivers and TSM Device Driver. So maybe you should experiment
with older versions of the TSM Device Driver.
On which platform is TSM Server running?

Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards,
 
Richard van Denzel.

hello all,
        I have a customer on tsm aix 5.3.5 using TS3310 and wants to DR
        to a system with MSL 6060.
        They tested 6 months ago successfully on LT02 with a 3583, but
        have since migrated to LT03.
        TSM recovers ok but when restores are run - when they finish the
        drive frequently becomes stuck - left sticking out of drive and
        then tsm seems to get the tape, put it in slot, back in drive,
        back in slot and the library hangs sometimes, tsm hangs too.

        Tried 3 different MSL's with same result.
        Found an advisory for similar in 5.1.3 but not mentioned since.

        Using IBM tapes if that's relevant.

        any ideas anyone?

        regards Nigel (UK)
