I am using both the HP Tape Device Driver (GENERICTAPE) and the new TSM Tape Device Driver (DLT - Format DLT35) both formats are being used in the same library.
Some of the drives have been converted to the new TSM Device driver and some remain GENERIC DLT. I keep getting the TSMDEVICE tapes mounted in the wrong drives (The GENERICTAPE ones). When this happens I get an error message i.e. ANR1156W Move data process terminated for volume XXXXXX - internal server error detected. I have done some searching past lists messages and have not found any matches yet. If I offline the GENERICTAPE drives and rerun then the tapes are forced to be mounted on the TSMDEVICE drives. And this works but it requires spoon feeding the tape movement. Both Device Classes use the DLT IV tapes and the reason I am not fully using the TSM device driver is due to a bug where it eats CPU. (That PMR is being worked on). I have seen the problem with SPACE RECLAMATION and MOVE DATA. The problem does not seem to happen for MIGRATION. If anybody has any ideas please let me know or I will place a support call next week.
