Over the last weekend we had a tape get stuck in a drive and threw the drive offline, no big deal, right? This happens enough that we know how to deal with it, but... this is the first time that this has happened (in my limited three years experience) in that the stuck tape was a scratch tape. This caused any job needing to mount a scratch tape to fail until manual intervention. Let me tell you, this is not a good thing.
My question.., is this by design? If so who can we contact to get this written in the next release? Why can't TSM recognize that the scratch tape requested is not available and move to use another scratch, simple enough right? Storage Management Server for Windows - Version 5, Release 1, Level 6.3 Windows 2k Library IBM 3584 w/ 6 lto1 fiber channel drives Probably a setting that I missed in setup three years ago and just never had this happen before, any help is appreciated as always. Thanks, Mark Bertrand
