Hi Chris,
I can give you my opinion only, and I'll tell you - I have a lot more
experience with LTO than AIT3, and find LTO very good. Especially good
capacity, and fast data transfer. Downside to LTO is perhaps cost of drives
and tapes. (I don't know the cost of AIT drives/tapes.)
As for ADIC

Could it be:
/sqlpwd=adsm
should be:
/SQLPassword=adsm
or... it could be that the new TSM API removed some
of the old communications options.. which means
you may have to remove the old options out
of the DSM.OPT file.
Here is the syntax:

Try exporting the data then if that is successful delete the filespaces.
In the unlikely event that you actually need to get back any of the data import

if it is just a different client node, just do a

Fixtest (synonymous with patch) indicates that the code has not been

Check your default IP packet sizes and IP performance implementation. The
