Resolved Issues 3

Note: The library assigns 12-character logical serial numbers to 3592-J1A tape drives. If you use IBM Tivoli®Storage

Manager (TSM), install a version of the TSM device driver that is later than maintenance release 5.2.4.4 (for TSM

5.2) or later than 5.3.1.1 (for TSM 5.3) to ensure that TSM can properly identify 3592-J1A tape drives according to

their 12-character logical serial numbers.

4 Resolved Issues

2876 Logical serial number (12 character) causing configuration errors with

TSM application.

2911 IVT test does not run LTO move cartridge test in 4th IE.

2931 418156 Library should compare drive fiducial labels with actual sled type.

2938 Service login timeout is handled incorrectly at "service->verify->all-

>perform all tests" screen if the 'Accept' input is 'y' when the timeout

occurs.

2939 Remove fibre channel topology and data rate selection for LTO-1 FC

drives.

2974 S10K Tape alert flags are reported incorrectly in the S10K log and need a

mechanism to report tape alert log data back to SDLC.

3024 550364 If the IE cable between the IE and the LMC becomes disconnected and a

new teach is performed the teach fails with SAC 01, 40, A3.

3031 On large dual aisle systems, it has been observed that tower 13 sometimes

fails to teach new on the secondary aisle side.

3032 566896 Serial number and logical serial number are truncated by 1 character on

the operator panel.

3038 527016 E_LSC_WFSCRDBF_BAD_READBUFFER_HANDLE is reported with

RMU 192 and 304 Library firmware.

3041 622572 If a LTO barcode label is printed in the reverse direction the library

incorrectly places the label into the bottom cell and forces a rescan.

3045 Need to merge changes form CR64557(support of LB and LX media for

3592 drives) onto main tree for 320.

3050 582456 On systems with a lot of drives (70+ drives), the Log sense page 3B

interferes with vary on of drive causing SAC 71.

3071 Need to add changes (DDC\LDC\LBI boot \appl code problem 313 code)

to 320 code.

3073 3592 drive modules power supply diags for the 4th drive bay do not work

properly.

3074 S10K 314A FW does not identify media type and usage.

3075 3592 short media returns an incorrect media character through SCSI read

element status.

3081 Code can take the library offline and not post an error.

3352 When varying a drive offline the library does not queue a unit attention

until the menu is exited. It should queue the UA as soon as the drive has

been varied offline and not wait for the user to exit the menu.

Description Workaround

33359 282830 On occasion, the vertical mounting

of a 3590 tape drive might be higher

than the vertical window expected

by the library firmware to

successfully scan for the drive

fiducial. As a result, the library

cannot teach the drive.

Manually adjust the vertical

placement of the 3590 tape drive or

the front bezel until the library can

successfully teach the drive.

40518 When a Teach Current operation is

performed for a DM, a drive teach

failure can return an incorrect bay

number to the Operator Panel.

Physically inspect the drive bay that

the failure indicated or possibly the

bay that is located immediately

before. The bay that is identified by

the failure might not exist.

41203 When using a data tape instead of a

FUP tape to update a list of drives,

the library correctly posts a “BAD

FIRMWARE MEDIA” operator

intervention message, but continues

to the next drive in the list. The

operation should fail and not

continue.

No applicable workaround is

available.

41301 After cleaning cartridges are ejected

from drives, the View dialog (Main

MenuSetupCleaningView)

continues to indicate a Valid status

for the first cleaning cartridge rather

than clearing the status.

Make sure that cleaning cartridges

are inserted into the library by using

the Insert Clean Tape command

(Main MenuCommands Insert/

EjectInsert Clean Tape). This

operation physically inserts the

cartridges and also inserts them into

the library database.

NOTE: Do not use Main Menu

SetupCleaningMedia to perform

this operation. This operation inserts

the cartridges into the library

database only.

cartridge increments when a second

cleaning cartridge is used.

Make sure that cleaning cartridges

are inserted into the library by using

the Insert Clean Tape command

(Main MenuCommands Insert/

EjectInsert Clean Tape). This

operation physically inserts the

cartridges and also inserts them into

the library database.

NOTE: Do not use Main Menu

SetupCleaningMedia to perform

this operation. This operation inserts

the cartridges into the library

database only.
