Thanks for the info Bob. I found what the problem was. Don't know why, but
the Atape drivers were not able to deal
with a sense error we were getting on one of the 3590 drives. I removed and
installed the latest version of Atape and that
seems to have resolved the problem.

Billy.

FYI that full audit will take a while but seems like its the best way to go
at this point with those errors

Sounds like your database got hosed. Do you have dual drives on your LM?

Try a full audit from on the LM, then with all drives unmounted, and audit
from TSM.

You might want to check the archives at http://www.adsm.org and/or pose the
question to the adsm-l listserv list.

hope this helps.
