The tape robots obviously call IBM every now and then to verify that the call home feature is working. IBM had changed their phone number, so this have been failing lately. IBM-support came by today and fixed this both for Para//ab and the informatics.
The norgrid.bccs.no node was having trouble scanning the
scsi buses. Seems to have been a problem with the scsi
backplane. IBM replaced it today, and the problem disappeared.
A disk crashed on the backup and fileserver for /net/bcmhsm,
so the /net/bcmhsm filesystem was unavailable for a couple
of minutes while the server crashed and rebootet.
The february 2004 XLF compiler fixes was installed. Bugs fixed:

The tape robot and drives had a firmware upgrade to correct
some problems we have had with the tape drives. Access to
/migrate and /net/bcmhsm might have been slow or even
temporarily failed during the upgrade (14:00-15:00)
