RE: OPT1481 - Add optical disk cartridge failed to complete successfully

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I found that the date/timestamps for these are close to matching, same day, time off by a bit.
Are these related, or coincidence?

On my Pencor05 LPAR

Object      Type      Library     Attribute   Text            
P061        *NWSD     QSYS        *GUEST      Pencor06 vSCSI 1
P062        *NWSD     QSYS        *GUEST      Pencor06 vSCSI 2
P063        *NWSD     QSYS        *GUEST      Pencor06 vSCSI 3
P064        *NWSD     QSYS        *GUEST      Pencor06 vSCSI 4
P065        *NWSD     QSYS        *GUEST      Pencor06 vSCSI 5

On my Pencor06 LPAR that was throwing the OPT1481 error.

Well Frankie had that many when the SCSI address on the Optical drive 
was set incorrectly. Sadly they all were the same PHYSICAL drive so 
insering a disk and closing the drawer caused that media to appear in 
every drive. It then ejected immediately because all but one were 
duplicates.

So I might surmise that you have an optical drive problem here. Can you 
look at them to see if they have the same serial numbers by chance?
