Do you use the 3583 only for TSM? Did it work in the past? If this is a one-time thing, power the library off and on again. I've only had it happen once, and a power off fixed it.
If it continues and you are attached to a WINDOWS host, check to make sure the Windows RSM service is disabled. If not, disable it and reboot Windows. -----Original Message----- From: Copperfield Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 5:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Prevent/Allow Media Removal - 3583 Hi all, The I/O station in our 3583 has become permanently locked meaning I have to take the library offline and open the entire door to insert or remove volumes. I have done a bit of research and have found this pdf: http://www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/library/storage/download/3583%20SCSI%2 0reference%20.pdf <http://www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/library/storage/download/3583%20SCSI% 20reference%20.pdf> (Page 68) which states that: Prevent: The Prevent bit indicates the following: 0 allows the opening of the I/O station. 1 prevents the opening of the I/O station. This field is applicable until a power-on reset or command reset is performed, or until all initiators have issued an ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command by setting the Prevent field to 0. Does anyone know: a) How to check what the bit value currently is (presumably it is set to: 1 at the moment) b) What may have caused it and c) How to set it back so I can start using the I/O station again.
