V7R1 Test PTF MF63881 released.
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR 'MA46486' :                   
-------------------------------------------------                   
   A SRC63A09500 Product Activity Log entry may occur for D/T3572   
   if extended error recovery is required when checking the status  
   of an element in the tape library.                               
                                                                    
CORRECTION FOR APAR 'MA46486' :                                     
-------------------------------                                     
   An unsupported command was being sent to the D/T3572 tape        
   library. The code has been changed to no longer send the         
   unsupported command to the tape library.

I've not had that problem but since I'm duping a bunch of tapes today that will be used to run from IRMA I might run into it. Thanks for the heads up.

To all,
Since recently applying, 8/27, latest V7R1 CUM 17192, latest BRMS Group  SI64274, I've had BRMS DUPMEDBRM fail twice with the following errors.
Open PMR with IBM, waiting for answers, possible test PTF in the works.
IBM stated others have reported similar issue.
Anyone from the group experiencing similar issues?
