I went in and toggled the drive and path "Online" then off-line and it came back. It took toggling the "Path" to get it to come back.

When TSM tries to use the drive the Status will change accordingly. We see this situation frequently.

We had the picker hang up today and is in the process of being repaired. We are running a IBM 3484 library. The problem is with RMT1 which is now showing "Drive State: UNKNOWN" but the other drives look fine. How can I change it back to "EMPTY" since the drive is empty? I tried to toggle it "OFFLINE" then back "ONLINE" but it stayed in the same state. =================================================================== Library Name: 3584LIB3 Drive Name: RMT1 Device Type: LTO On-Line: Yes Read Formats: ULTRIUM2C,ULTRIUM2,ULTRIUMC,ULTRI UM Write Formats: ULTRIUM2C,ULTRIUM2,ULTRIUMC,ULTRI UM Element: 269 Drive State: UNKNOWN Allocated to: WWN: 500507630007A911 Serial Number: 1110111802 Last Update by (administrator): JONES Last Update Date/Time: 07/18/05 12:54:55 Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): ASNEEDED ===================================================================== Eric Jones PLATFORM AND SERVER SOLUTIONS Owego, NY Phone: 607-751-4133 This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
