TSM is unable to talk to the library controller. Usually this is indicative of a bad tape drive on IBM LTO libraries. You might try power cycling the tape drive with the smc0 path through it (usually drive 1 in frame 1). Other problems could include any component in the communication path to the library. Good Luck!
