RE: Long SAVSYS

Hey Becky, does IBM read this list? I'd be careful about announcing
you're trying to scam IBM on a public list.

I'd forgotten to mention that we had a drive that was going bad also.
Since the backup could use different drives it would randomly hit the bad
one. What was really fun was that multiple lpars went through the SAN and
into the bank of drives on the tape library. You know, when you do a
WRKMLBSTS and you see multiple drives for that one media library? Well,
to help track this down I ensured that all lpars had the same drive name,
tied to the same resource name, tied to the same serial number. Took
going into STRSST and renaming resource names to get them all synced up.
But then I was able to find the drive issue. Using that web interface
into the library helped a bit to track down errors. We even configured
the library to send us email notifications of issues. We did not
configure it for SNMP traps.
