I'm surprised to hear people having issues with a 3584.
I've got TSM servers with 3494's and 3584's; the 3584 is my favorite
TSM library, hands down.
Robotics are FAR superior to the 3494 - I can tell you bizarre stories
about problems with 3494 robotics.
The 3494 is slow and clunky with a lot

I grew up with a 3494 (Some Consider Slow) but recently have been working
with a 3584. The 3584 is "dumb" in comparison, once a week we have to
idle down TSM and re-inventory the 3584 because it always looses its
inventory and cant mount tapes or puts them in the wrong slots! Sooo
frustrating! I

No tape technology is perfect. They are mechanical devices. Tapes fail
(wear, stretch-and-tear), drives break. Operators drop tapes. Buildings
burn down.
So no, I wouldn't put any stock in this.

I will try new firmware levels. STK has a sort of approvement of IBM

How important is your data? It matters not how reliable your primary
copy is if the location where it resides is physically destroyed by
water, fire, or (choose the disaster of your choice). I would never run

This is just my opinion, but ACSLS will not make it simpler. It adds a layer
of software between TSM and the library. They can get out of sync. In my
experience, it makes problem resolution HARDER, not easier. You are likely to
encounter more timing issues, not fewer.

Firmware on IBM LTO1 is 4561, on IBM LTO2 4770. This is the latest
firmware version STK provided us, maybe there are newer versions now
available. I will check that with STK.
I know that we really dont need ACSLS to have only TSM on the library,
even with several servers.

Hi Pablo!
You will have to kill the TSM server and start it in the foreground
(dsmserv). Then you will be able to reset your password by issuing the
upd admin command.
Then switch the server to the background, if your OS allows you top do
so. Otherwise, halt your server and restart it again in the
