APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-------------------------------------------------
In some specific error conditions the LIC device driver may
return incorrect element data, causing a potential for a buffer
overrun.
An interface error on a fibre connected tape media library may
report more errors than would be expected if connectivity to the
robot fails.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'MA40189' :
-------------------------------
Apply this fix to correct the response causing the overrun, and
report only the the first error if the system cannot send
commands to the robot.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR 'MA40189' :
----------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions


None.




Special Instructions
