The drive firmware is up to date. I'll be damned if I can figure out how to determine what the 3584 library firmware level is or how to download it. The device driver (Atape) software is up to data as of a month o\r so ago.
In your 3584 operator manual, search on "firmware", which under Activity Screen says "The first line on the screen shows the current level of library firmware." Perform downloads through IBM Web page S4000043. Don't be hesitant to search the IBM site for its wealth of useful information. In this case: +3584 +firmware As I mentioned in previous email, you need to pursue the performance problem via unit tests and benchmarks of the tape and disk subsystems, separately. (Never put a subsystem into production without first testing and measuring its performance against vendor specs.) Richard Sims
