Richard,

Yes, it will,  or should.  I'm running a 3.1.2.20 AIX server with 3590e J and K
carts in my 3494.  Had to upgrade Atape.driver and atldd.driver (did this long
before the CE's did the MES).   As previously mentioned in the forum, it's
probably a good idea to mark existing J's to readonly and I also took the extra
couple of minutes to delete the drives from both ADSM and AIX and then redefine
them.  Everything is working fine.

Regards,

  >----------------------------------------------------------------------------|



The ADSM 3.1.2.5x server level supports 3590E, double-track drives.
The doc does not say if it supports double-length cartridges (which
I suspect that it does, as that would seem more transparent than
track-switching).
Could an ADSM 3.1.2.5x server customer verify this for me,
as we are thinking of upgrading our 3590 drives within this
current server level, and I'd like to be sure.
  thanks,  Richard Sims, BU
