I too have 3590 FC drives, two of them.
Each drive is able to deliver about 30 Mbytes/sec throughput max. A FC link

Hi Rick!
The 3494 uses the library manager (the PC with an customized OS/2, which is
located inside your library control unit frame) to control this. Your AIX
host uses the ATLDD driver to address the library. The library manager
assigns a drive to your mount request and reports this back to your

I just noticed something peculiar with the way reclamation works or doesn't

I've seen this several times on my 3494. One of the drives is giving

Hi Wanda!
In fact we do not use the GUI, nor do we use the scheduler, so there is no
dsmsched.log. We use a third party scheduler (BMC's Control-M) for
scheduling.
If I run a backup manually and capture the output (dsmc i > backup.log) the
log shows no failures at all and reports at the end: 0 obj

Hi Eric,
Most likely these messages are being generated as a result of an excluded
file (we still examine the file, even if it is excluded), or else you
would get an error message indicating that backup for a file had failed.
