Joe,=20
You might want to look at the latest level patch level, we found several =
bugs with the base release of ALMS. The latest patch release adds =
virtual IO station (aka cap) support to the ALMS feature.=20
We may have found a bug with this also, we will find out Friday morning. =
We had an inventory problem. The ce's think that it was a problem with =
the calibration of the library. I think that it is a problem with adding =
more tape that the max vio setting.=20
Either way it can be worked around.=20
-calibrate the library.=20
-Make sure the max vio setting is greater then the number of tapes added =
for a virtual library.=20
The latest level of 3584 firmware also adds a status page for the fc =
port status for the drives.=20
Let us know how you make out with ALMS.=20
