Re: Failed RSTLIB on V3R2 from SAVLIB on V3R7

        I'm not familiar with V3R7 but I'll hazard a guess anyway.  When 
     you save the library,  specify a target release of V3R2 on the SAVLIB 
     command.
        If that doesn't work and you screw-up the tape drive again, you 
     don't have to IPL the entire AS/400 to get the tape drive back.  Just 
     set the RESET parameter on the VRYCFG command to *YES and you IPL the 
     tape contol card without IPLing the entire system.

HELP,
     
We are having much trouble restoring a library on a V3R2 model 300 machine 
from a tape made on a V3R7 model 500 machine.  We are using 8 mm tapes, 
doing an INZTAP on the V3R7 machine and then a SAVLIB.  Programs (ILE 
COBOL) are created for V3R2 use.  
     
When we do a RSTLIB on the V3R2 model 300 machine, the tape stops working, 
the DEVD is damaged, the device goes to FAILED status and the CPU 
utilization hits the roof.  If we vary the device off, the CPU utilization 
drops to normal, but the device cannot be varied back on successfully.  It 
goes to RCYPND mode resulting in an IPL to get it back online.  
     
Any ideas?
     
HELP
