Troubleshooting
Problem
IBM TS3500 tape libraries with A430 firmware may experience a hang condition after running a probe from Tivoli Storage Productivity Center.
Symptom
The embedded CIMOM with the A430 and higher firmware for the IBM TS3500 is now explicitly marked as not supported by Tivoli Storage Productivity Center due to the hang condition that can occur. In these cases, the IBM TS3500 tape library becomes unusable some hours after running a Tivoli Storage Productivity Center probe against the tape library CIMOM. The web GUI no longer works and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager cannot control the tape library for running tape backups anymore.
