Hello - We're experienceing a lot of problems right now with the VTS, and the 3592-JC media. Our configuration is:
IBM 3584 tape library, with 3957VEC TS7760-T VTS (virtual tape server), microcode level 8.51.2.12 10 3592-E08 drives for the VTS back-end, installed 5/25/2022 3592-JC media, bought within the last 6-8 months. 1) we had a problem with not being able to recall virtual tapes if the primary back-end tape was in ROR (read only recovery) status, and the secondary back-end tape was OK. IBM found a bug in their VTS code, and fixed it, and we seem to be OK on that front. 2) Still having a lot of occurrences of a JC back-end tape getting stuck on the drive, and not properly unloading. The Operations staff has to pause the library, open it up, find the tape, pull it, resume the library, put the tape in the I/O hopper. We have an IBM crit-sit opened, and have uploaded library & drive logs. Is anyone else having these sorts of problems? .
