We have had 3290 installed since 7/16. No operational problems, but it did introduce a bug for sites that have their LTO on the network...you have to unplug the ethernet before you can do drive microcode updates.
We also have drive microcode level 36U1 installed. Found the above bug when we tried to update drives on 7/17. -----Original Message----- From: "Anthonijsz, Marcel M SITI-ITDGE13" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2003 15:38:20 +0200 Subject: Re: New 3584 Library Firmware available Anybody of you daredevils already implemented this code? What are the benefits and what differences do you see? We have just upgraded our LTO1 drives to 35V0 and library to 3060. We had already planned everything through change control etc. and then IBM told us that we could also upgrade to 3290... So this is next change... IBM also placed a new type of spring/clip in the LTO1 drives, helping a lot against stuck tapes (or error code B881 on your 3584 library). The weekend before the change we had 17 of 35 drives offline due to stuck tapes... Grrr. So if you see many of these errors, ask your CE for the new clip placement...
