Remco, I don't know if you noticed that IBM updated the lin_tape.fixlist file to include RHEL 7.4. I got a notice about an update but didn't see anything changing, version-wise. This was the file from November, 2017 Fixlist for Linux IBM Tape Device Driver (lin_tape) (C) Copyright IBM Corporat

Remco Can you please explain what the fall-out is? I'm using TSM 7.1.0 on AIX and have issues with LTO6 drives emulating LTOs. Sometimes I just power cycle the drive and that clears the problem, but that does not always work. Whilst I don't have any linux servers or storage agents in that pa

Hello there, errno 16 usually corresponds to 'device busy'. I have observed this error mostly on systems with shared library (shared=yes) and with storage agents that had some problems to communicate with TSM server. Are you facing the issue only on a single tape drive, or all? Are they zoned by a
