I hope so! J

I've only got one 6.5.2 config and its a master/media combo on Windows 2003 with two LTO3 drives shared via SSO.  When I select the second drive to up or down it, the gui only reconfigures the first drive.  So for example this afternoon I had to reboot the library.  Both drives went into a down state on the gui.  Selecting the picture of drive 001 brought up a notification box to up the paths to drive 000.  If I go ahead and up these paths, drive 000 goes up and drive 001 stays down.  The only way that I can figure out to up (or down) drive 001 is to use vmoprcmd.  I opened a ticket on this last time it happened and the support engineer said he wasn't aware of a bug.  I was a bit busy at the time so I didn't pursue it further.  Today it happened again.  My plan is to upgrade another environment next week to 6.5.2 so I can check on that environment, but is this happening to anyone else?  The GUI still doesn't refresh so you'll have to Refresh All or use vmoprcmd to check.
